Whether attending a wedding or getting together with your best mates this Christmas holiday, you can never go wrong with a plate of mouth-watering biscuits. They’re a popular treat that can satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth and unique tastes. Biscuits are also a staple for afternoon tea. 

If you want to bake a memorable holiday for everyone, you’d like to whip up a fresh batch of the most searched biscuits based on Google’s top picks. Fortunately, Google released a map of each locality's most famous Christmas biscuits in the United States—and this surely has some global applications as well.

This article presents how they collected the data, the results, and four data-driven Christmas biscuit ideas you can try. 

How They Collected the Data

The data in the map shows which is the most popular cookie in each state. They considered the five categories: flavour, shape, ingredients used, international influence, and other types. They gathered the data from more popular queries in each state than nationwide. 

They didn’t include chocolate chip and gingerbread biscuits in the final results because they weren’t over-represented in one locality.

What Are the Results?

“Christmas cookie fudge” was the most searched biscuit in six localities. “Italian Christmas biscuits” come next as the most popular in five U.S. states. Whereas “Old fashioned Italian Christmas biscuits” was the most famous choice for people in Washington, D.C. 

On the other hand, lemon and Oreo Christmas biscuits were the most searched in one state. And keto and gluten-free Christmas biscuits are popular choices in four states. These search results suggest that more people are considering healthier options when baking for the holidays. 

The data shows that everybody has different biscuit preferences across the state. The Northeast U.S. highly favours biscuits with international flairs. On the other hand, Midwestern residents usually prefer recipes with more unique ingredients.
