The most Googled cookie recipe was gingerbread, as it took the No. 1 spot in seven states. The next most popular Christmas cookie was sugar, followed by Mexican wedding cookies, black and white, oatmeal and snickerdoodle.

North Carolina’s most searched-for cookie recipe was the Moravian Cookie. If you aren’t familiar with the cookies, they are rolled paper-thin, with a rich intensity of a warm winter blend of ginger, allspice, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
