This is yet another day celebrating a type of cookie and yet another day celebrating something made using peanut butter (whose creation is credited to US educator George Washington Carver, who was promoting peanuts as an alternative to cotton as a cash crop and had a recipe for peanut butter cookies using chopped or crushed peanuts) - both types of days are rather popular.
This cookie, just as it sounds like, use peanut butter as the primary additional ingredient in the cookie dough.
Peanut butter cookies are usually made with a criss-cross pattern on the top of them. This pattern is created by pressing a fork into the dough before the cookies are baked. The reason why this is done isn't decorative; it was originally done in order to help the cookies cook evenly, but is now a standard part of making the cookies.
