Valentine's Day has got to be one of the greatest cookie holidays (if not THE greatest), so I suppose it should come as no surprise that there are still a lot of heart-shaped and love-themed cookies hitting this week's hot list.* Our Spotlight also has an ample helping of spectacular, gravity-defying stringwork cookies, all entries to @Sweet Prodigy's current Practice Bakes Perfect challenge. (Psst . . . the challenge is open 'til February 28, so there's still time to enter and have a chance at winning a one-hour, $100-value video mentoring session with me! I'd love to meet every single one of you, so please hurry up and enter! 
More info here.)
Special congrats to @Toni Lea and @Gemma Serra, both newcomers to this hot list, I believe . . . and also to @My Lovely Cookie for catching my eye and landing the coveted cover spot! Now, onto all of this week's impressive honorees . . .

These babies were crafted with all of you sweet cookiers in mind! 😘]

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.
