Saturday Spotlight: Top 10 Cookies

 

Hi, all! Surprise! I'm a little early this time! I'm traveling tomorrow during record-breaking cold temperatures (right now, it's -12°F in Maine, where I'm headed) so I'm expecting the trip to be rather complicated with no guarantee of actually getting there per plan. So rather than risk being stuck in an airport with crappy internet, I am seizing the moment and jumping on the Spotlight while I can. Plus, I have a bunch of downtime right now as I wait for a 2-hour (4 GB) video to render. Fingers crossed that the computer finishes this time without crashing as it did on the first try! What a week of tech issues I've had!

Anyway, onward to more important stuff - like this week's hot list*! Its honorees include a few repeat cookiers from last week whose posts were so popular that they're still trending high as we speak (congrats to @Evelindecora, @LisaF, and @MrsMac on that score)! We've also got two prolific posters whose work registered not once, but THREE times! A shout-out again to @LisaF and also to @Skilful Cook whose impeccable baby shower set is featured in the cover image.

And here are all of the honorees, starting with the fastest trender of the past week . . .

Impressive work, everyone! I can't wait to see what you post this coming week.

I'll be traveling back to Missouri from Maine next Saturday, so I will likely attempt to post the Spotlight again on Friday. I may be bundled up in layers of sweaters and under piles of blankets, but I think I'll still be able to reach my keyboard! LOL. Have a great weekend and next week!

* 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.

FYI, honorees! I have to return to video editing and uploading/downloading now, as I am on a very compressed work deadline. I will send your badges and post the Spotlight to social media late Saturday when I am at my destination. Thanks!
