It's that time of the week again - when we celebrate the most popular cookies (or subset of cookies) on the site! Since I'm unaccustomed to the unusually cool Missouri weather that we've been having (brrrr!), I've decided once again to spotlight those summer cookies that heated up our screens the most this week.
So without further ado (pardon, I'm a little talked out from today's earlier chat with Evelindecora), please say congrats to our hot list*, which includes four entries in our current Practice Bakes Perfect challenge! See if you can spot 'em.
#1: Endless Summer by Lauren Dorsee Dillon
#2: Ice . . . by Hadas y Grumetes
#3: Mediterranean Village by Bakerloo Station
#4: Nautical Cookies by Evelindecora
#5: Daisies and Ladybugs! by The Cookie Lab
#6: Sea Theme by Tina at Sugar Wishes
#7: Pretty Sweet Watermelon by Cookies by Missy Sue [EDITOR'S NOTE: A great example of how a classic cookie can be refreshed with an innovative design!]
#8: Sea Creatures by Emma's Sweets
#9: Girls' Weekend with Kids by The Cookie Monger [EDITOR'S NOTE: Last but not least, this set is the fourth of the Practice Bakes Perfect entries spotlighted this week! Thanks, all, for rising to the challenge - so to speak!]

* 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.
