Guilty Eats Has The Top Christmas Cookies In All 50 States

Let’s face it, one of the best parts of the holidays? COOKIES! But which it “the best?” It depends where you live – and that’s why the folks at Guilty Eats have compiled a list of the top Christmas cookies in all 50 states. If you don’t find your state below, the full list can be found HERE.

• Alaska: Chocolate Linzers – Not familiar? These are ‘sandwich’ cookies with filling usually made with chocolate or raspberry jam.
• California: Biscotti – An Italian classic flavored with anise (though there are also plenty of other flavors like chocolate chip!).
• Connecticut: Snickerdoodle – The state cookie of Connecticut, this is basically a cinnamon-y sugar cookie…though some recipes include brown butter.
• Florida: Key Lime Pie Sandwich Cookies – Key lime crème between two mini sugar cookies…need we say more?
• Georgia: Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies – Traditional peanut butter cookies stuffed with more peanut butter.
• Hawaii: White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies – A spin on the traditional chocolate chip. This one’s made with macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips or chunks.
• Iowa: Swedish Kringla – Fluffy and sweet, and made with plenty of sugar and butter, they can be eaten frosted or unfrosted.
• Louisiana: Palmiers – A very light layered cookie made from butter and sugar that originated in France.
• Mississippi: Mississippi Mud Pie Cookies – Yup… made with the same ingredients as the pie – brownies, chocolate custard and a chocolate or vanilla flavored base.
• New Jersey: Classic Italian ‘Rainbow Cookies’ – It’s hard to call these cookies…because they’re made with three layers of almond-flavored cake with apricot or raspberry jam in the middle then dipped in dark chocolate. But they are yummy!
• Ohio: Classic Buckeye Delights – Of course we had to talk about Buckeyes when we got to the state of Ohio! Buckeyes aren't only the name of one of Ohio's beloved sports teams, but a super delicious and very rich peanut butter and chocolate dessert. To take it down just a bit, bale it into a sugar cookie or cereal base...delish!
• Tennessee: Crème de Menthe Cookies – Sugar cookies on the outside, crème de menthe-flavored cream on the inside with chocolate ganache frosting on top.
• Washington: Santa Sugar Cookies – A classic heart-shaped Christmas sugar cookie turned upside down with brown M&Ms for Santa’s eyes and red and white frosting for decor.
