Middleton, Wis. - December 18, 2023: We are stocking up on flour, breaking out the sprinkles, and dusting off the cookie cutters. ‘Tis the season for holiday cookies! Do you have a favorite cookie, maybe one to pair with a cup of cocoa? We will refrain from endorsements because it is once again time to elect this year’s official holiday cookie!
Due to increased cookie candidates, we decided to open this year’s election up to a primary and a general in order to narrow the field. Primary voters picked their top 3 candidates from the full field of 8. Here are the results:
- Sugar cookie (42%)
- Chocolate chip cookie (46.2%)
- Chocolate peppermint bark cookie (30.4%)
- Gingerbread cookie (36.7%)
- Peanut butter blossom (27.6%)
- Snickerdoodle (33.9%)
- Thumbprint cookie (15.7%)
- Oatmeal raisin (21.7%)
General election polls open today at 8:00am E.T. through Thursday, Dec. 21, at 5:00 pm ET.
In keeping with Ballotpedia’s mission to act as the nation’s premier resource for unbiased information on elections, politics, and policy we have gathered the candidate profiles in preparation for the election.
Results for the 2023 Holiday Cookie Election will be posted across Ballotpedia social media pages on Friday, December 22, 2023 and can also be found here.
Stay tuned!
