What is the difference between a cookie and a cracker?
A cookie's dough is higher in shortening and sugar; and contains less flour. The cracker's dough is flour, some shortening and sugar, and some flavors and dough conditioners.

Simply put, animal crackers contain less fat, flour, and sugar than what's commonly referred to as a cookie.
