Google shared with USA Today the most uniquely internet-searched Christmas cookies by state from November 29 to December 6, 2021. Pennsylvania, with its population covering numerous cultural backgrounds and holiday traditions, yielded a surprising result.

“It was interesting to see how different regions of the U.S. seem to be interested in different types of cookies,” Google Trends curator Annanya Raghavan told USA Today.

“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 notes.

Wyoming, Iowa, and South Dakota like Keto Christmas Cookies.

Some states’ residents like M&Ms in their cookies; others sidestep traditional cookies altogether and opt for fudge. Some states have lemon cookies or even packaged Oreos as their favorites.

But Pennsylvanians are not alone in their favorite searched Christmas cookie: Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Jersey all shared the love for a unique sweet.

Pennsylvanians searched most for information and recipes for Italian Christmas Cookies.

These include Pizzelles, Butter Cookies, Italian Sugar Cookies, Biscotti, and Sesame Seed Cookies.
