Peanut Butter Cookies

Chewy and packed with rich, nutty flavor, this fuss-free recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies checks all the boxes. Plus, it’s the supersize bakery style you know and love marked with the crosshatch pattern.

Iced Animal Crackers

These Iced Animal Crackers remind our editor-in-chief Brian Hart Hoffman of his favorite brand of animal cookies when he was a kid. A thin glaze of royal icing is painted onto the cookies, which settles in the imprints of the design and dries to a crisp finish that makes the shapes pop. Shop the animal cookie cutters we used for these cookies here.
