Halloween isn't quite over yet . . . Hold on a sec, I think I hear trick-or-treaters at my door . . . Ahh, so cute, a little troll and her baby jack-o-lantern brother . . . Sorry, where was I? Yes, it's not quite over, but I'm scraping the...
Admittedly, I'm a little ODed on pumpkins and ghosts around about this time each year! But considering we've got less than one week to go 'til the big day - and we've got such an abundance of great Halloween cookies on the site - I had no choice...
Chalk it up to jack-o-lantern or phantom fatigue, or whatever you want, but this week I'm tossing seasonal convention to the wind with another "Best of Category" roundup! Here are the hottest cookies* of the week in no particular order...
Let’s wrap up this texture challenge so that we can all start brainstorming the " frankencookie" challenge !! I don’t know about you, but I love a good frankencookie . . . First of all, thank you so much to Rebecca for allowing me to play...
So, it's that funny (not "ha"-funny, but odd-funny) time of year when it's not quite Halloween, but our minds are already jumping forward to the excitement (and preparation) of holiday season and all of the friends, family, and great food that it...
It's that special Saturday time again - and boy, have I got a wide-ranging lineup of beauties for you! Of course, it's the season for pumpkins, so there are a few different (and quite original) takes on those. You'll see a fair bit of black and...
Another great challenge!!! I'd like to thank Tammy Holmes for the idea for this month's challenge - cookies based on a single inspiration photo. I asked her to pick the photo, and she picked this picture of a gorgeous fancy lilac powder room ! I...
Is it too early for Halloween? Hmmm . . . judging from the quantity of eerie (but gorgeous) cookies hitting the site lately, I'd say no! Plus, by the time you design, bake, and ice, Halloween will be upon us in no time flat. So, sit back...
Back in my day, we started school after Labor Day. But in 2014, here in Webster Groves, Missouri, the kids have been at their desks now for about two weeks. And, here on Cookie Connection , the back-to-school postings started well before then,...
Every time I do one of these challenges I'm not quite sure what to expect. For this one , I just didn't know if people would be interested in taking the time to mix the colors, but I am so glad that so many of you did! What a splendid array of topics...
Wow - this must be some record for me! It's only Friday night, and I'm already putting the finishing touches on this week's Saturday Spotlight . I'm going to celebrate my efficiency by taking off most of Saturday and Sunday, which translates into...
Happy weekend, everyone! To celebrate the diversity of cookies on this site, it's time, once again, for a "Best in Category" spotlight. For newbies to this feature, this means that, rather than showcasing the top 10 cookies on the site or the top 10...
Wow, it's been another great week of cookie photos here on Cookie Connection ! Many clips have been sporting rust, teal, and peacock blue in keeping with the ongoing Practice Bakes Perfect color challenge . (BTW, if you haven't yet entered, there's...
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...
In this challenge , we asked you guys to cookie a theme onto a terribly random set of cookie shapes: a gnome, a pear, a skull, a rectangle, and a fleur de lis. I thought for sure you'd either be bored or stumped. Boy, was I wrong. Each and every one...
