In just two weeks, it will be that time when Dads everywhere are regaled with gratitude and gifts. And what better gift than one of cookies, right?!
Though not in this week's top 10, this cookie posted in 2013 by Belleissimo Cookies was STILL riding high this week in the #11 spot. I thought its staying power merited a special shout-out!
If you haven't yet figured out the surprises you're going to bake, no worries - we've got plenty of food for thought (pun intended) in this week's hot list.* There's everything from a cookie cigar box with moving parts to a well-equipped tool box and a 3-D row boat. And if your Dad is neither smoker nor boater, then there are burgers on a grill, tattoos, vintage Volkswagens . . . and something every good Dad deserves: a huge "Thank You"! My Dad would have loved the vintage cars, with a slide rule and an a capella singing group thrown in!

* 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.
