Saturday Spotlight: Top 10 Cookies

 

Deck the (Cookie Connection) halls with boughs of holly! Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la! 'Tis the season to be jolly! Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!

I just love-love-love-love all the yuletide cheer on this week's hot list!* Take a peek, and soon you'll be singing its praises just like me!

(Of course, revel in all the eye candy below, but please be sure not to overlook the important site housekeeping notes at the very end of this post. They detail our upcoming Thanksgiving holiday posting schedule.)

And that's a wrap! (Pun intended - I do feel like I could tie up all these treasures with a big velvet bow, and they'd make the most fabulous Christmas gift!)

Now, for those housekeeping notes I mentioned at the top of this post . . . I'm taking my first vacation of the year from November 22 through December 2, and, while I'll be working madly on my home renovation during this time, I have every intention of putting aside this site for the week. (Don't get me wrong, I love you all, but this cookier needs to tune out cookies and recharge for a bit! ) That being said, there will be a two-weekend gap in Saturday Spotlights; I'll resume them on December 7. In the meantime, have a great Thanksgiving, all who celebrate, and a great two weeks in my absence, everyone!

* 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.

Congratulations to everyone !!! Beautiful work, I'm glad you liked my gingerbreads too. Particularly congratulations to Tereska Pękul !!!!❤️

Dziękuję pięknie @Ewa Kiszowara MOJE PIERNIKI, gratuluję wyróżnienia  

Thanks for the mention.  My beloved, late Grandma was a tole painter and I have tons of her art around my house. These were inspired by the same type of painting she did.  I didn't get her talent with paint and brush, but put a tube of royal icing in my hand and I can do more than I ever thought possible.
