I'm back after a week off, and what a refreshing sight it is to see the marvelous cookies that made it onto our hot list* tonight. Some have been dancing around the top ten photo feed for several days due to their ongoing popularity, while others are brand new posts this week! Isn't it nice how everyone - newbies and old-timers alike - gets a fair shake on this site?! 
Naturally, these cookies feature a lot of summertime themes, though some go as far as to venture into back-to-school designs. Whether you're eager to hold onto summer for another few months or not, all of these cookies will delight and amaze.
Congrats to all of our honorees!

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.
