Mark your calendars, cookiers! I’ve decided the show must go on! My cookie art competition couldn’t take place as usual in February at...

Congrats to this week's honorees! Most are still-high-trending Easter cookies, though a smattering of springtime and Mother's Day-themed cookies also registers among the hot list. Special kudos to...

What's better than a solid chocolate Easter egg? Yes, you got that right - a cookie one! And, as luck would have it, you needn't hunt far or long to find plenty of them on our site! With Easter just...

This month's Dynamic Duos™ design, dubbed "Pretty as a Flower", combines one of my favorite places with one of my favorite people: Maine, where lupine and sweet peas grow wild with abandon, and my mom, who can be a bit wild at times too! The addition of...

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting our January 2021 site artist (and the subject of this Close-up) at CookieCon in Reno back in 2019, the year she left that show with not one, but THREE cookie decorating prizes! Yes, this month’s featured artist is...

As has been the pattern since the inception of Cookie Connection, we've predictably hopped, skipped, and jumped from Valentine's Day right into Easter. So, seeing as we have a...

Hi, all. I upgraded to a new version of Crowdstack today to test a possible new feature addition to the site. Unfortunately, a side, unexpected consequence of the change was...

After last week's polar vortex fiasco, I'm hopping as fast as I can into spring - and so is this month's Dynamic Duos™ design! The design, called "Hopping Into Spring" (of course, what else?!), is more...

Valentine's Day has got to be one of the greatest cookie holidays (if not THE greatest), so I suppose it should come as no surprise that there are still a lot of heart-shaped and love-themed cookies hitting this week's hot list. Our Spotlight also has...

I mean, honestly, what else could I feature on this eve before Valentine's Day but hearts, roses, and chocolate?! Nothing, right?! That being said, tonight's hot list showcases...

Hi, everyone! I am starting this Spotlight in an unconventional way with a special mention and an explanation. Many of you have been wondering why a certain fabulous dragon cake (pictured below) has been in our "Top 10 Cookies" home page photo gallery, often in the...

If ever there was a theme to a Spotlight, this one is it! Gnomes have been lurking around Cookie Connection all week, and many (I count five) have managed to dance themselves all the way to...

Another Cookier Close-up! Woo hoo! Sorry for the brief hiatus, but I had a super busy December with virtual classes and events, and it took me a little while to re-group after all of that! Anywho, I’m back, and I’m sure you’re going to love reading this up-close-and-personal interview as much as I loved conducting it. It’s with...

This month's release is called "Chinese New Year," but I consider it more of an East-meets-West way of ushering in 2021. While its background of plum blossoms and auspicious messages of "Love", "Luck", "Hope", and "Peace" are...

Hi, all! It's that time again when we celebrate the ten top-trending cookies on the site this past week! Since it's nearly Sunday (yikes!), I'm going to keep this Saturday Spotlight intro brief and...

Hi, everyone! Alas, with Dotty - our past survey writer - having recently moved on to bigger and better things, I have assumed the hat of Chief Site Survey Writer once again. But, I am...

Well, from all appearances, you folks are still reveling in the magic of Christmas and perhaps approaching 2021 with a little hesitation? Could I possibly be right about that? Only two cookies...
