Here in the midwest peanut butter cookie were sold in the lunchroom. I think that's why they are Back-to-School. People with nut allergies should know not to eat these cookies.

I am a little irritated by all the comments on nuts and allergies. I don't think the name is meaning send them to school or hand them out at schools. I think it means feed them to "your" family for an after school treat or in their lunch box. Yes there are peanut allergies so don't bring them to school, eat them yourself and give to your own family who you know does not have nut allergies. Or don't make them at all, it is up to you.
