Hi, all! It's that time again! This week, our Spotlight features a nice blend of old-timers and newcomers, as well as a few Practice Bakes Perfect Challenge #42 entries. (BTW, that stained glass challenge closes tomorrow, so HURRY if you want a chance to win a fabulous Arkon Cookie Decorators Mount! More challenge details here.)
All of the cookies on this week's hot list* are phenomenal, but special congrats go to newcomers @Olga Nadyshneva (a two-time honoree with two impressive 3-D creations) and @Gwen Safriet for her ambitious and delightful challenge entry!

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.
