From an article at Yummly. I’m going with Kentucky on this one. Runners up are Louisiana, Florida, Minnesota, and New Jersey, the state that came closest to knocking Kentucky out of my favorite position.
I am verklempt at Tennessee not having a Jack Daniel’s cookie. I’ll console myself with Gentleman Jack and a slice of Jack Daniel’s cake.
And really, Nebraska and Alaska, sad. You guys need some help.
Sigh. No political comments, and for goodness sakes, why make an even slightly off color comment on a cookie thread? Use some sense, please. If the fun of this thread escapes you then go comment on the other threads. Please.

Gladly send you some of NJ’s best cannolis
I’ll take some!
@MHSlayer on parler.
Drop me a DM and I’ll have a dozen shipped in time for NYE.
My wife’s cousin owns a very well know Italian bakery in the Philadelphia area
Leave the gun. Take the cannolis.
One of the best ad-lib lines in movie history.
Didn’t know that was an ad-lib line! Interesting.
It’s my understanding Richard Castellano changed the original dialog to be more succinct as they were leaving the crime scene.
As a Sicilian American I agree – nothing compares to a GOOD cannoli.
The best cannoli’s are made in Philly.
I’m 10 minutes from South Philly and after 60 years I think I know where to get some good ones. However if you have any favorite spots I’m all ears.
Toll House. I could live on Toll House.
Louisiana!! We were there once and I asked (in my Texas accent) for a “PRAY-LEEN” and the lady said, “They’re $5 each. If you pronounce them ‘Prah-leen” they’re a dollar.” I am a quick study!!
Candy not cookie……goes with Divinity.
Yep – and I’ll be making both tomorrow, along with chili pignon brittle. Barometric pressure falling today so wouldn’t set – supposed to be right level and rising tomorrow.
Neighbor is doing the same here. She was going to make them today but she said the weather is not right. She makes the chewy pralines. She is 70 year old coon-ass. She would know. ?
I don’t know how to cook or bake, so I will trust her!
Any single malt from Speyside paired with fresh shortbread local Scottish bakery. In emergency Walkers near Abelour will work.
100% agree with Scottish shortbread.
White chocolate chunk and macadamia nut cookies!
The Cookies at that link are amazing – with the recipes.
There are two traditional Italian “cookies” with equivalents in other Latin based cultures.
Is it too late to make these wine cookies? Where do we find a recipe?
The closest I have been able to get, after my Grandmother (from Calabria Italy) passed is the Greek recipe for Tulumba, and then experiment with various mixtures of honey and Italian Red Wine. Sadly this is one of the recipes we were not able to record before she, her sisters or my mom passed away.
My wife and I experiment with recipes for Tulumba found on line.
Just a historical note, I call them Italian Cookies but the Southern Part of Italy has a very heavy Greek influence.
Oh, it is never too late to make them. It is just a matter of the amount of time allowed to have the honey and wind mixture to be infused into the cookie.
We just got fresh honey from a local beehive and I was thinking baklava soon. I had it on biscuits this morning.
Saltine toffee
That is such an amazing thing – I did not actually know the name of it but my Mom received the recipe from someone else who had it from someone else – “Saltine Toffee” – that must be the name of it!
So amazing and so easy – we found too that when one time I was thinking I should arrange the saltines very neatly in columns and rows (like a spreadsheet) that it actually did not turn out so well – it needs a little freeness – it actually lends to the verisimilitude –
you get more of the toffee effect when the arrangement of the saltines is looser, we think
If you can try the extra butter, try them with Town House crackers. Gives that extra space and so good. We melt semi-sweet chocolate chips on top and freeze.
Oatmeal raisin. That said, Archway has an awsome “Iced Molasses” cookie that’s awfully addicting.
Don’t get me started. 🙂
The classic Tollhouse cookie recipe on the back of the Nestle chocolate chip bag.
My mom’s butter cookies………….
I’m sure this map must be in error. Surely Maryland must have an Old Bay Cookie….AHA! I see online recipes for Old Bay Chocolate Cookies and Old Bay Ginger Cookies and Maryland Crabby Susan Cookies (using BOTH the state seasoning and shaped like the state flower). I’ll bake some up and see if what holiday guests think.
Pretty sure you’re right, it has to be in error. I’m in NM, and it’s biscochitos! Especially for Christmas. We’re from OK but we moved here and wow…these are our favorite cookies now
https://www.newmexico.org/nmmagazine/articles/post/bizcochito-recipe-83756/
Oreos also make wonderful pie crusts, pudding crusts, on the top and bottom layer of Kansas Dirt. Another delicacy.
They put trump in and took him out. We pretend we had something to do with it.
???
Is this a Joe Biden interview? Ha Ha. Personally I like pie, so I will say a Pecan Tassie.
Snicker Doodles
made with cream of tartar and rolled in cinnamon.
Baked to “rare”.
Oops! ‘Twas not my intent to send that to you exclusively, NCEdgar
Sand tarts!!!
”Dog food cookies” (otherwise known as no-bake drop oatmeal cookies)
Could I get a recipe for that second one? Does it use wheat flour?
TreeClimber, Here is a good ingredients recipe for them. But for the cooking instructions, you need to boil for 2-3 mins or they won’t firm up. I’ve only cooked on stovetop. I think it would be hard to figure timing in microwave. These are very good easy cookies. Growing up, we called them Fudgies.
I don’t think the link posted…
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip………the end ?
I had a cat named Booger. He was the best cat.
Many say I’m a Kool Cat too, but I tend to exaggerate
If I could, it would be Louisiana: Pecan Pralines. Being KETO means never again!
https://joyfilledeats.com/creamy-pecan-pralines/
I haven’t tried them. When I started keto I said I was not going to use the baking and sweet substitute recipes. They just didn’t look good. Well, I gave in, and I have made some good treats very occasionally for us. Not everything I’ve tried has worked, but some things have been very good, and helped us stay on track.
Do you have a go-to site for sweets for those of us who can’t do wheat flour? Most the stuff I’ve tried so far is stuff I’d be giving my worst enemy…
Glutenfreepalate.com, has some really good recipes. Bob’s Red Mill gf 1 to 1 flour works well for baking.
I hunt things down on Pinterest. Most of my choices are made because my gut tells me they’d be close to my regular recipes. I (so far) won’t try biscuits or bread because I’m somewhat of a baker and I’m not settling for nut flour imitations. That being said, I’ve made some very good muffins and I think pancakes would be good.
Pinterest is a great keto resource.
I really don’t care for the nut flours either. I’ve had people recommend different flours to me – especially King Arthur GF flour – but I can’t find them anywhere!!
Thank you for the diversion 🙂
Cool day here in AZ. High of 65. Great day to bake some cookies!
It was 3 when I went out earlier this morning.
I am heartbroken. Not a Pfeffernusse Cookie in the lot. No wonder I can’t find them where I shop. Maybe i’ll get brave and try to bake some.
Also, my Polish grandmother used to make ‘Angel Wings’. The batter was cut into triangles, a slit made and a corner put thru the slit to form wings. They were then deep fried and while hot dusted with powdered sugar. How can you call angel wings sinful?
these were not like doughnuts. they were maybe 1/4 inch or less thick. 70 yr old memories are hard to keep
I found Gram’s Angel Wings recipe:
12 beaten egg yolks
1 jigger whiskey or brandy
1/8 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
2 cups sifted flour
1 tsp vanilla
confectioners sugar
Mix together all ingredients (except conf sugar)
stir well and knead until it blisters 20 to 30 minutes
roll as thin as possible
cut in 1 inch x 3 inch strips – then into triangles
cut slit in center and pull end through
fry in deep fat till golden brown 360′ faren
drain on paper towel. Sprinkle with conf sugar
makes 3-4 doz.
Other cook’s comments have to do with how to ‘keep’ them. Ours never lasted long enough to find out how they would ‘keep’.
Cute map, linzer tarts rule, but …
Cannolis aren’t cookies!
?
For Christmas, Ina Garten’s jam thumbprint cookies.
The rest of the year, my Mom’s peanut butter cookies.
I’ve lived in Mississippi for 55 years and I’ve never even heard of salted caramel cookies.
Up here in Wisconsin I use Christmas Cookies as an excuse to consume Clear Amber Maple Syrup — try adding some to Ginger Snaps.
In an emergency once I substituted Maple Syrup for Vanilla in a standard Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie recipes and the result was wonderful !
Try brandy in the syrup. You won’t need cookies.
Ricotta cookies. Soft and delicious. Every Christmas for my husband, or he pouts.
Verklempt!! Thanks for the wonderful memories of grandparents speaking Yiddish!
I stole that one from WeeWeed.
Disappointed not to see kolache in the list. They scream “Christmas” in my memory. I live in NC, but have never heard of butterscotch haystacks, whatever they might be.
Funny that this appears today, since I thought that I should get started on some Christmas baking. I’m not a chocolate fan, but the only recipe in that list that I clicked on was the chocolate crinkle, representing Iowa. My mother-in-law would like them, so I thought maybe I’d try them.
Christmas isn’t complete without a batch of my wife’s family traditional recipe, Grandma Dudley’s cookies. They’re a wonderful recipe for cut out cookies. Great on their own, but fun to decorate, too.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Butterscotch Haystacks are a no-bake, dropped ‘cookie’ made with 4 ingredients; butterscotch morsels, peanut butter, chow mein noodles and peanuts. The chocolate version adds chocolate morsels for a more chocolatey ‘cookie.’ They take no time at all to make and everyone loves them.
The left fight tooth and nail while we talk cookies.
Logic that out.
It’s Christmas!!!!! Sometimes we need a sugar break!?
The left have no joy. I will take talking cookies any day over spreading fear and hate.
Humbug!
Even soldiers in the trenches got to read their mail from back home and that sometimes included cookies. Try watching 1951’s “A Christmas Carol” starring Alastair Sim. It was titled “Scrooge” in the UK. This is, hands down, the absolute best cinematic re-telling of the Dickins masterpiece. Not just my opinion: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/a-christmas-carol-1951
My favorite version of this movie is the 1984 film with George C. Scott as Scrooge. I’m not sure I’ve seen the version you speak of, so tonight I’ve lined up a double feature… the 1951 version followed by the 1984 version. After baking some Christmas cookies, of course!
Speaking of cookies… frosted butter cookies and sand tarts are my two favorites, although I think what I call sand tarts are actually jam thumbprints.
This time of year frosted sugar cookies… Rest of the year chocolate chip
They based their article on what recipes were being searched for in each state. That doesn’t mean that that particular cookie is the state’s favorite. It just means that was what people were searching for. Maybe they were wanting to try something different from their “favorite”? This is a case of having access to data, but misinterpreting that data.
It makes more sense that people would be making their “favorite” cookie from memory without a recipe. If you make the same thing over and over because it’s your favorite, you don’t need a recipe.
I’m not even a great cook, but I know how to make 3 varieties of sugar cookies, oatmeal cookies, peanut butter cookies, and several varieties of fudge ALL without looking at a recipe.
This afternoon I will bake 20 dozen Russia Tea Cookies — aka Snowballs — for our family’s drive-by Cookie Exchange tomorrow.
Jealous! Haven’t had them in ages and they’re my favorite!
Writing from GA. Never had a Red Velvet Cookie. Looks great. But, never had one.
YES! These are a tradition that I started when I was first married. Every Christmas I would do the mixing, rolling, cutting, baking and set them aside for the whole gang to frost. Now my kids and grands all continue the tradition with ‘frosting’ parties at Christmas time.
Next in line are Peanut Butter Crosses, Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal No-bake, and of course, the Ritz Cracker PB Sandwich Cookie.
Central PA reporting in!! Evenly split between Oatmeal Raisin and Snickerdoodle.
But nothing beats Boston Brown Bread when you can find it!!!!!!!!!!!
Boston Brown Bread goes great with a huge pot of ham and beans.
Texas… we need to talk about the word “cookie”.
Thanks, Menagerie!
Russian Tea Cakes for me!
What a wonderful gift of recipes to have and to share with friends.
Persimmon cookies sound so good. I wonder why I have never seen those before. I guess one can’t escape their roots because I am from California.
Love Oatmeal Scotchies–the old recipe that used to be on the Quaker Oats lid. Have they removed the Quaker Oats guy? I noticed the Land o lakes girl is gone from the butter packages but not the half and half cartons LOL.
I was just looking for a bourbon ball recipe— using some left over chocolate cake.
Now that my metabolism has slowed down, I don’t make desserts unless company comes. And being under the weight of tight restrictions here in WA state, company hasn’t been coming around. I wonder if I made the “Cook’s Illustrated Pecan Bars” with my usual extra pecans and dark rum and wrapped them up nice for neighbors and the delivery drivers…maybe it will burn up enough calories to justify me enjoying one.
My Favorite that I make as a Christmas tradition….It’s actually a cookie Bar. The recipe is from an old Southern cookbook. …HELLO DOLLIES….recipe was stolen a few years back and modified by Toll House…they called them magic cookie bars…..theirs are not nearly as good.
Maine, PA, and Wisconsin, because they remind me of my childhood and we had them every Christmas!
Iced sugar cookies aka Christmas cookies.
We made gingerbread. Very yummy and traditional.
Eric love em Fang Fang’s fortune cookie.
You are the [ ] close to moderation. Stay off my cookie thread.
Well, I just ate a few Buckeyes this morning. Although I would consider them candy more than cookies. My mom used to make mincemeat cookies every year and I have continued that tradition. They are my favorite. Only problem is finding the boxed mincemeat in the grocery store. Sometimes they have the jar version. I guess you can use that but I like the boxed mincemeat. The recipe is on the box and over the years they have been called “fruited shortbread cookies” and “prize cookies”. I just call them mincemeat cookies.
Pistachio creme cheese cookies…with dark chocolate icing.
Our famous Kentucky bourbon balls are fantastic. It helps the bourbon is world famous.
