Saturday Spotlight: Top 10 Cookies

 

Hi, all! I'm still in Maine on vacation, tending to some stonework that's being done for me, and also working on digital design boards to help visualize renovated rooms in need of furnishings.

In between all of this designing, I took a brief trip to Vermont to visit my college roomies. We stayed at the dreamy Inn at Shelburne Farms, a stately old Vanderbilt mansion. We did a lot of bike-riding, hiking, eating, and basically just living in the moment (something I rarely do). The visit was capped off with a magical double rainbow sighting - the likes of which I'd never seen.

As I sat down to write this post, I caught myself looking ahead to tomorrow and bemoaning the end of vacation and return to reality. But, fortunately, your cookies, particularly those on this hot list*, worked their own special magic and transported me back to the joyous present.

May you also revel in the moment as you peruse the wonders created by this week's honorees . . .

Absolutely enchanting, was I not right?! See you next week after I have returned to Missouri, where it'll be all (two) hands on deck as I embark on a new video-making venture. It's definitely a bittersweet back-to-reality for me!

* 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.
