These Philadelphia-centric cookies were lovely favors at my niece's wedding a couple of weeks ago, but they would also be quite charming for a party on the Fourth. No need to confine yourself to these two designs. You can order cookies shaped like Phillies P's (if they start playing better), lobsters, or even dragonflies. All butter shortbread cookies with almond royal icing, they don't just look good. $4.50 to $6 each or $50 per dozen, from Whipped Baked Shop, www.whippedbakeshop.com. 215-598-5449
