Saturday Spotlight: Top 10 Cookies

 

Hey, gang! This week, we've got a great assortment of top-trending fall cookies as well as Watch-Learn-Create Challenge #51 entries in our Spotlight. Speaking of the challenge. . . Challenge host @Manu biscotti decorati recently extended the deadline for entries to October 4 to allow everyone a little more time to create. I, for one, am elated by this news, as I've been getting so much joy and inspiration from watching entrants put their own special spins on my techniques. I hope others will take this extra time to rise to my contoured cookie challenge - not purely for selfish reasons (though I do love all of the ideas I'm getting), but also because I know that anyone who enters is bound to grow through the process of doing so. For more challenge info, just jump on over to Manu's intro post about it. There are very few rules in this new challenge format - our aim is to inspire people to try new things, without the restrictions or pressure of lots of constraints.

Now . . . back to the matter at hand: this week's hot list*! I am showcasing ten wonderful cookie sets that won't disappoint. Special congrats to @Karen Higgins for earning the coveted cover spot with her farmers' market set that won a blue ribbon at her local fair. Karen is also a first-time honoree, as is @TeeAdri. Way to go, ladies! Let's check out the rest of the honorees, shall we?!

Great work,  was I not right?! Well done, everyone! Though I'm still in the throes of back-to-back product launches and burning the midnight oil as a result, I hope to see you next Saturday with another impressive Spotlight. Stay tuned!

* As a reminder, a word about how the rankings are determined: The rankings are not at all subjective. In fact, they are determined essentially by you, our members, and the activity (number of views, likes, and comments) you've bestowed on each photo. The site uses a top-secret algorithm that weighs these various factors to determine which photos are trending most quickly (i.e., are the "hottest") over specified periods of time. As such, the hot list at the time of this announcement may look a little different a few hours or a day from now as more photos are added to the site.

So that no one has an unfair advantage in making it onto a hot list, the algorithm is secret even to site administrators. Only our platform developers know the code, which has been exhaustively tested by those developers and Cookie Connection staff.

All photos shown here are the courtesy (and copyright) of the designers listed.

To check out our other hot lists, at any time of day, visit our Hot Spot, also found in the site's main navigation line.
