Saturday Spotlight: Top 10 Thanksgiving Cookies

 

Phew! I have no idea how Thanksgiving crept up on us as fast as it did, but I just ordered my bird and I'm already planning all of the fixin's to go along with it! It's currently a toss up between pumpkin- and pecan pie-flavored cookies for dessert! But there's no telling what designs will go on top just yet . . . after putting together this week's Spotlight, a treasure trove of Thanksgiving cookie ideas, I decided it would be smart to give that point some more thought.

And, boy, am I thankful that I did! While this week's hot list* has the requisite pumpkins, turkeys, and fall leaves, each honored cookier has approached these cookies in a unique and original way, giving me (and I hope you as well) ample inspiration for other Thanksgiving cookie twists! Read on to see what I mean.

What a Thanksgiving feast (for the eyes), eh? Now that you're fueled with ideas, I'm sure you're eager to zip off to your kitchen to start rendering them in icing. But before you do, please express your gratitude for this week's honorees!

* 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.
