Here we go again... Off the the races... Biscuit vs Cookie...They all look like cookies to me!![]()
Cookie schmookie....go to the back of the class.
We do of course have cookies...and I eat too many of them...but cookies are a specific type of biscuit.
A biscuit is usually harder, smaller, and could be eaten in one bite if you wanted to.
A cookie would be larger, softer and take a few chomps to consume.
An Oreo is a biscuit......for example (although as it is an American product...they'd call it a cookie)
Just like this... this has Nasta on packaging. To me that means Nasty biscuit and I probably wouldn't want to buy it.

Here's another one that is kind of funny when you think about it. Chevrolet built a car called Nova. in some parts of the world, The word Nova in Spanish meant No Go, so they had to change the name to sell it there lol. It's all the same, just a different word.![]()
In the US, aren't what we call scones also called biscuits?![]()

An Oreo is a biscuit??? No No No!
Biscuits have little to no sugar ... cookies are sweet and delicious! That's the difference!![]()
Look lady...(meant in a jokey, very friendly, inoffensive manner)...we had the 'biscuit' first....and they are sweet or savoury treats that are small and hard.
Your 'biscuits' are what we would call a 'scone'.....(see image)
