Read on for what Google has found, as people across the state, and across the country, are breaking out their mixing bowls and baking sheets for the cookies of the holiday season.

“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 (I didn’t even know that was a thing!).

Some states like M&Ms in their cookies, others went for fudge. Some states have lemon cookies or Oreo cookies as their favorite.
