If you click on the link, our state's "favorite" holiday cookie is persimmon. Do you know even one person who makes or eats persimmon cookies? Yep, me neither.
Around here in So Cal, holiday cookies I've seen the most would be traditional decorated sugar cookies or peppermint bark.
........ Do you know even one person who makes or eats persimmon cookies? .
My family had persimmon cookies and persimmon pudding every year. I'd still be making it if I could get good persimmons.
No one who was ever offered persimmon cookies ever turned them down. They are delicious.
It's possible that all the persimmon orchards have been cut down and paved over with little houses on tiny lots. Many acres of California fruit orchards are gone forever.
I've always been a little curious about how a recipe called a Mexican wedding cake could also be called a Russian tea cake and why they are so common in Minnesota. I know they are also served in other geographical places under different names. Even "moldy mice!" (Must have been that creature that wasn't stirring on Christmas Eve.)
So I googled a page on their origin in case you are interested:
Heidesand,a German Cookie. It’s sort of shortbread like but you brown the butter first which gives the cookies an excellent flavor!
Not really a favorite State cookie,I know,but it’s one of my favorites.
Toffee, pralines, buckeyes, and nut brittle are candies, not cookies.
Weird list. CO does lots of Xmas tree meringue cookies? Never even seen one of those in almost 30 yrs of living here. Common Xmas cookies are peppermint candy cookies, sugar cookies, peanut butter with a Hershey kiss planted in the middle.
One coworker always brought in a no-bake cookie that managed to be simultaneously dry, mushy, overly sweet, and tasteless: a mix of Hershey syrup, peanut butter, and shredded coconut heaped into little mounds. She claimed that the guys at her department loved them, but I noticed she always had plenty of them to bring back home.
Utah’s and California’s alleged favorites look delicious!
Don't really care what the favorite cookie is in Florida (probably something citrus based). I like what I like and my favorite is macadamia and white chocolate chip.
