Peanut butter cookies have emerged as America's most-searched Christmas treat this holiday season, according to Google Trends data analyzed by Axios. From November 12 to December 12, searches for Peanut Butter Blossoms, typically topped with Hershey's Kisses, and Peanut Butter Balls showed the largest increases nationwide. These peanut butter varieties ranked as the top-trending cookie in 42 states, with blossoms leading the searches. The remaining eight states plus Washington D.C. favored spritz cookies, a shortbread variety. However, actual purchasing data tells a different story. Target reports that gingerbread cookies dominated sales in 38 states. (Story URL)
