They're breeding like rabbits - the Easter cookies on this site, that is! And the rabbit theme is even more prolific! (Only one of this week's top ten Easter cookies doesn't have one, or a part of one.) Turns out, bunnies can be cute as...
As moderator of Cookie Connection , I have the unique vantage point of seeing every cookie photo that hits the site - and that's a lot! Most of the time, it's the season that dictates the dominant cookie subject matter . . . like right now, we've got...
Seeing as it was a 60-degree (Fahrenheit) day here in St. Louis, and we're on the verge of springing forward tonight in the US, I thought I'd get us all in the mood of the imminent season by spotlighting the week's most popular spring creations....
Hello, everyone! I've got some good news, and some other news for you today! Other news first: After much reflection, I've decided that these Practice Bakes Perfect challenges are too much of a time commitment for me at...
So back when I gave the Cookie Connection contributors' team the impossible task of selecting the winners in the 2014 Cookiers' Choice Awards , I also gave them the equally impossible exercise of choosing their two favorite cookie photos posted to...
This week I've got an unconventional and very exciting Saturday Spotlight for you - the announcement of the winners in the 2014 Cookiers' Choice Awards ! After a long couple of weeks of serious deliberation, our panel of esteemed Cookiers'...
There's been such a plethora of fabulous Valentine-themed cookies posted to the site in recent days that I really had no choice but to do another back-to-back Valentine's Day cookie Spotlight ! Frankly, I'm also a little heart happy. You see, I've...
Love is in the air here on Cookie Connection ! (Or at least running rampant throughout our photo feeds!) Ever since the New Year, we've been wooed by cookie hearts, roses, lace, and assorted other Valentines-y things. I'm completely infatuated with...
[EDITOR'S NOTE: My apologies for another delayed Spotlight - two weeks in a row. The fault is entirely mine, and, this time, my excuse is recovery from an all-day video shoot on Saturday on top of a world class cold. Waaa! Onward to more pleasant things! ~ JMU] Another outstanding showing from everyone for the Practice Bakes Perfect 3-D cookie challenge! We were so excited to see how people just went for it, inventing new techniques and making cookie dough do amazing...
I hope that those of you who celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah had a wonderful time off last week, enjoying family and friends. (I sure did!) But celebration time isn't over yet! Nuh, uh. No sooner than those holidays pass, we're kicking into...
Christmas isn't quite here - yet it's everywhere! It's in my kitchen (think: gingerbread factory). It's on the faux reindeer-lined sidewalks of my quaint town square. It's in my mailbox, thanks to the remaining luddites who eschew email in favor of...
By now, I'm sure everyone's ovens are cranked into high gear, what with Christmas just around the corner. But before you get all of your cookies safely stowed on cooling racks, I urge you to stop and smell what's been baking here on Cookie Connection ...
It's easy for me to get a little site-centric, thinking (mistakenly, of course) that the cookie world revolves around Cookie Connection . After all, I spend at least four hours a day on site stuff! But I'm quickly jolted back to reality...
At this time of year, most people (at least in the US) are dreaming of turkey with all the fixin's or pumpkin or pecan pie . . . but not us cookiers! Instead, we're conjuring up ways to turn our favorite Thanksgiving foods into cookies . . . or new...
Well, you sure pieced together some cool cookie creations for last month's frankencookie challenge . I asked you guys to combine two or more cutters into one shape, and it was almost frightening how many cool shapes you came up with! Can't wait to...
