Animal cookies, animal crackers, and related taxa are known to most people in the United States; however, there is substantial confusion as to which of the baked critters are cookies and which are crackers. It has been my purpose to examine a wide variety of these snacks from throughout the United States and to develop an initial scientific classification system for the group. There likely are additional taxa that remain to be described, but this classification scheme attempts to answer some fundamental questions and provide a foundation for future studies.
