Missouri’s Favorite Christmas Cookie Might Surprise You
Many of us have the tradition of making Christmas cookies. Whether it’s for family gatherings or as a gift to friends and neighbors, decorating Christmas cookies is one of the most beloved holiday traditions in many families. But which Christmas cookie do Missourians favor the most?
Best Christmas Cookie in Each State
I am a horrible baker. I’ve tried countless times to make Christmas cookies, but I've failed every time. They come out too thin, too thick, and I can’t decorate to save my life, so I eventually gave up. Thankfully, I’m lucky enough to have amazing friends who love to bake and send me cookies every year.

Missouri's Favorite Christmas Cookie
A new survey recently took a look at each state’s favorite Christmas cookie, and for Missouri, the winner is the Grinch cookie. Described as bright green, heart-shaped, and full of holiday spirit, it has become a modern favorite in many households.
The Sugar Cookie’s Holiday Legacy
No matter how popular Grinch cookies may be, there seems to be one dominant cookie that stands out among most people: the sugar cookie. That may be because it’s famously known as Santa’s favorite cookie, at least, that’s what I’ve always been told.
So no matter what your holiday tradition is, whether it’s baking and decorating cookies or, like me, making cannoli dip because you don’t have to bake, what truly matters is making memories. After all, those moments mean more to families than whether the cookies are even edible.
