Saturday Spotlight: Top 10 Cookies

 

It's certifiably autumnal here - meaning both here in Maine, where I am tending to home-away-from-home matters this week, and in this Spotlight. In the course of the few days between my arrival on Monday and today, the trees have turned from having just a few sparks of orange from place to place to fully ablaze with fall colors everywhere. It's a spectacular time of year!

fall-1

And, as you’ll soon see, this week’s top 10 cookies, many styled in brilliant fall and Halloween colors, are just as spectacular. (BTW, pictured above is the harbor across from my house in Maine. Get a load of that tree!)

Okay now . . . onward to the glorious honorees on this week's hot list*!

#1: Coffee Time by Ewa Kiszowara MOJE PIERNIKI [EDITOR'S NOTE: Congrats, Ewa, for earning this week's coveted cover spot as well as for ranking number one in our top ten list. This set exudes so many warm and cozy vibes that I just had to choose it for the cover image; plus, I love the unique perspective you chose! ~JMU]

Well done, everyone! I really love the fall vibes on our site right now, and hope they continue for at least a few more weeks! Stay tuned for next week's Spotlight, which will be compiled by the fabulous @LisaF. 'Til then, enjoy the season, and have a great 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.

Great job, everyone! As you may have noticed, I posted a little early. I am traveling all day tomorrow (Saturday) so I wanted to be sure to get out this post before landing in the airport. Badges will go out to honorees late tomorrow night once I get home, and the Spotlight announcement should automatically post to social media about midday tomorrow.

Thank you,Bravo to all!!

Have a good journey

Thanks so much!  So many awesome cookies chosen.  Congrats to all!

Congrats to you! Just a clarification - I do not choose these cookies; the site algorithms automatically determine which cookies trended most quickly over the past week (based on their likes, comments, etc.). I simply take those results and post them here. The only image that is handpicked by a human is the cover image.
