Cookies are hot right now. Bev Taylor, the owner of Port Huron’s Royal-T Cakery, said that cookies are flying off the shelves of her bakery.
When asked what the most popular cookie is this year, Taylor said sugar cookies are all the rage. Usually, chocolate chunk cookies are the most sought-after, but everyone seems to want sugar cookies during the holiday season.
Blue Water Area consumers are just slightly different from the national trends when it comes to cookie preferences, according to a recent survey from YouGov.
Nationally, chocolate chip edges out sugar cookies, with fudge coming in third. Whether or not fudge is a cookie is a debate for another time.
Those peanut butter cookies with the Hershey’s Kiss in the center have been a holiday staple for at least 50 years and they are near the top of the list this year as well.
Toward the bottom of the list are old standbys like jam print cookies and pfeffernusse. While most cookies are a variation of the mixture of butter and sugar and flour, throwing in flavors like anise and chai will land the cookie at the bottom of the list, where chocolate tends to land the confection at the top.
