The bottom right one, if you turn it the other way up, is the Statue of Liberty’s torch.

The last mystery is (I think) The State of Alaska.

The beak is a casualty of cookie crumbling (or at least the upper line of the beak, the bottom line is still intact). The rest of the shape is exactly the same shape as the neck and head of the eagle, down to the second ruffled line indicating feathers near the base of the neck.

The one on the right is a ketchup squeeze bottle lid that popped off when trying to force the dried plug out the of the top. You can see the ketch that spilled as well.
Nothing more American than that.

Washington’s cherry tree, pre-chop?

It’s just badly stamped or worn away.

Liberty’s torch, turned upside down. and, I guess, the Tree of Liberty? But that sort of implies blood cookies.
