The holidays are associated with many desserts, but cookies are hard to beat. If you’re wondering which cookie reigns supreme in your state this time of year, check out the list below.
For their report, researchers at Unscrambler used Google Trends to find the most popular keywords associated with searches for “Christmas cookies.” The top trending Christmas-themed cookie in each state was considered the most popular.
According to the results, Italian Christmas cookies dominate much of the U.S., with seven states searching for them. The basic treat is distinguished by its almond extract glaze and round, rainbow sprinkles.
Gingerbread cookies follow the Italian confection with five states—including Alaska, Georgia, and Oklahoma—searching for them above all others. Though they’re often shaped into tiny men (or full buildings, if you’re ambitious) during the Christmas season, a simple round cookie can also be festive.
Many flavors on this list are classics, such as sugar and snickerdoodle. Others—like kitchen sink and Christmas crack cookies—may be less familiar to you depending on your holiday traditions.
