Hello, everyone! It's that time again - that special moment of the week when we spotlight the ten top-trending cookies on the site! Woo hoo! (And, I do mean "woo hoo"! Thanks to a spotty internet connection due to severe thunderstorms, I had two failed attempts at saving this post, which required redrafting all from the start. Grrrr . . . 
I was on the verge of abandoning all hope of any Spotlight this week until this third try saved.)
Anywho, unlike most weeks, this week's hot list* is a curious amalgam of themes and techniques that's hard to snappily sum up in one word or catch phrase. So I guess "electic" and "wonderfully executed" will have to do! 
Please enjoy the sweetness below, and take a moment to say congrats to all of the honorees as you do! Also, a special kudos to first-time Spotlightees @Masumi (Icing Cookie for Smile) (also our cover artist) and @Ale Capurro!

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.
