cookie is more of an american term isnt it?
although technically i think cookies mite be a bit doughyer lol!
ones poofy
england - biscuit
america - cookie
but in england a cookie is soft, usually has something in it, like chocolate chips or nuts,
Americans have cookies, and us Brits have bisciuts!
I think the other main difference is that a bisciut tends to be firmer - think rich tea, ginger nut, digestives,, etc, where they snap rather than bend,, like your cookie will do.
Well, a cookie is a bit different because it has chips in it, either chocolate chips, or oats and raisens.
You can get different types of biscuits, like garibalsi, hobnobs, digestives and rich tea, and they are plain and ordinary.
(I dont think ive answered the question properly. Hopefully you will get my drift...lol)
cookie american, biscuit elsewhere
America and the UK and Europe
biscuits and cookies are pretty much the same.
BUT...................
bicuits are crunchy like short bread and cookies are hard on the outside and lovly and gooey in the middle
hmmmmmmmmmmm cookies
Cookies are meant to be a little doughy in the centre with a firm but not crisp outer texture and tend to be thicker/deeper than biscuits which should be crispy (the name comes from the french for twice cooked).
The difference is which country is it made in. In England it is a biscuit and in the US it is a cookie.
Could say something clever about one is an edible treat that goes with tea or coffee and one is one is a package of text sent from a server to a computer's web browser.
But I won't
A cookie is a specific type (the one with chocolate chips in) and biscuit is the generic term.
Unless you're in America and then cookie is the generic term and biscuit isn't a word.
cookies are yummier!!
both are delicious with milk!
Americans call everything to do with biscuits, 'cookies'
English call biscuits 'biscuits' and cookies 'cookies'
Hard to explain, but the main difference is that Americans use the term cookie as a general term for that type of food... English use cookie as a term for a sub-category of a biscuit, or a type of biscuit. Sorry if it's confusing!
Both are essentially tea-time snacks. It depends whether you speak American or British English
The spelling.
