Question: what is the difference between a british biscuit and a cookie?
Answer: In the UK a cookie is often a little chunkier, softer and moister than a biscuit. ... From the Latin meaning 'twice baked', a biscuit is much firmer than a cookie. A biscuit is usually smaller; it might contain currents; two biscuits might be pressed together with a filling, or it could be topped with icing or chocolate.
