Last year, Nestlé Toll House asked 5,024 people nationwide what kind of cookie best reminds them of their state. People had 57 choices, from traditional chocolate chip (with or without nuts) and shortbread to flavors like green tea and apple cinnamon cookies.
Using the data, Nestlé created a list of cookies that "best describe" each state.
Florida went with orange, Hawaii chose Macadamia (the nuts are a signature crop there) and New Mexico selected Biscochito (theofficial state cookie). The most popular pick was chocolate chip, with one out of every three Americans surveyed,Nestlé reports.
