The other day as I was waiting in my Doctors reception room I picked up a copy of the December 2010 issue of Readers Digest. In there I found a fun list for the favorite cookie of each of our 50 states along with The District of Columbia (according to the list compiled by allrecipes.com, which they created based on the number of page views for each recipe by state).
I want to try and make ALL 50 COOKIES during the year of 2011 & 2012, and post each recipe and my review as I do this...A huge undertaking, and I'm not entirely sure I can accomplish this, but it's worth a try.
This is a huge list! However I noticed that several states had the same cookie, and interestingly enough they are generally located by each other. Many of the Rocky Mountain States all chose a version of Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies (my personal favorite), and since I'm from Utah, I'm very happy!

Arizona is pumpkin chocolate chip, that sounds disgusting.
Obviously, Utah didn't ask me, cause pumpkin cookies are not on my list! LOL
New follower, hope you can stop by for a visit!

How interesting! I'm a little shocked that IL is Cream Cheese Kolacky. I've never had one before!
