FeaturedSaturday Spotlight - This Week's Hot List!

Saturday Spotlight: Top 10 Halloween Cookies

Julia M. Usher 9/20/249:00 PM

In last week's Spotlight social media post, I said that one can never be too early with Halloween cookie planning. This week, I insist that the corollary is also true - one can never have enough Halloween cookies! And, so, it’s in this spooky spirit that I present you with another Saturday Spotlight full of top-trending Halloween cookies, led by @Ester y sus galletas' glorious haunted house cookie array in the cover image! Congrats, Ester! Most of the cookies featured this week are blast-from-the-past creations posted prior to 2022, which means it’s time for you all to start your 2024 Halloween cookie-crafting and get your new creations posted to this site. (Hint, hint: I might do another Halloween feature next week, just because I love this cookie holiday so much! 🎃)

Special congrats as well to @Evelindecora and @Teri Pringle Wood, two of the site's most prolific posters of the past! Each is featured two or more times this week just because their work is as popular now as when it first appeared!

And that's a wrap! Kudos to every one of this week's honorees! To all reading: I look forward to seeing more of your new Halloween creations over the coming week!

Also - stay tuned, because thanks to @Aproned Artist and @Manu biscotti decorati, a couple of awe-inspiring Halloween tutorials are coming to the site before the end of September. I also recently offered my punny tombstone and coffin videos - my two favorite 3-D Halloween cookie tutorials - in a discounted bundle that's 20% off! BOO! (The Halloween equivalent of a mic drop! 🎃) How's that for keeping Cookie Connection the ultimate Halloween haunt for cookie inspiration?!

* 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.

To check out our other hot lists, at any time of day, visit our Hot Spot, also found in the site's main navigation line.
