bullet::::- nutter butter – a peanut-shaped sandwich cookie with a peanut butter filling, which was introduced to the public in 1969. the distinctive peanut shape and texture was designed by william a. turnier, who also created the design for nabisco's oreo cookie. nabisco launched a convenience store pack of the nutter butter brand—known as nutter butter bites—featuring cookies that are round in profile, lacking the distinctive peanut shape but retaining the same texture. however, the vast majority of the nutter butter cookies sold are of the original peanut shape. a 2004 estimate stated that over 34 million pounds of the cookie are sold annually, and that more than 1 billion are consumed annually.

early peanut butter cookies were either rolled thin and cut into shapes, or else they were dropped and made into balls; they did not have fork marks. the first reference to the famous criss-cross marks created with fork tines was published in the "schenectady gazette" on july 1, 1932. the "peanut butter cookies" recipe said: "[s]hape into balls and after placing them on the cookie sheet, press each one down with a fork, first one way and then the other, so they look like squares on waffles."
