“Your state's favorite Christmas cookie, according to a Google search”

The holiday season is bringing out the baking sheets and family recipes. As families gather for the holidays, many people across the United States are looking to bake their favorite Christmas cookies and holiday desserts.  Google shared a list of what Christmas cookie recipes Americans are searching for by state with USA Today. You and your neighbors may have more in common than you think...or this list might surprise you. Based on the unique searches, Google Trends curator Annanya Raghavan told USA Today she was able to see how the searches differed by region. "The East coast seemed to favor the internationally-inspired cookies in Search, while the South seemed to be searching for Christmas flavored treats, and the Midwest was searching for Christmas cookies with alternative ingredients," Raghavan told the news outlet. Google Trends observed searches during the week of Nov. 29 to Dec. 6 and took note of which Christmas cookies were most highly searched in a state compared to the rest of the U.S. Here's a list of each state's uniquely searched Christmas cookie.
