    American cookie or Maryland cookie?

    If American, then cookies are moister and softer than biscuits*, and I think Maryland cookies are like Häagen-Dazs, so named to sound foreign but were really invented and made on some soulless estate in Slough.

    *At least, Texan cookies are.

    A biscuit is what you have with Tea, and a cookie must be paired with Milk!

    YAY! I WON! What's my prize?

    Our survey says...

    ...EEEH-UUURR (okay so you cant spell out the sound)

    They're good, but they're not what I was looking for.

    The clue is in the name!

    Oh come on, surely the best answer is that in the states a biscuit is what we call a scone in the UK and a cookie is what we call a biscuit in the UK.
    OK, so maybe not what you were looking for, but still an interesting fact :)
    Oh, the incredible things I have learnt in this country....
    I wonder what the prize was...

    Only one has spawned a Muppet (ok, resident of Sesame Street)?

    The clue's in the name? Well, you cook cookies, so do you bisc biscuits?

    BUT or OOKE (technically the first is BUST, as the questions didn't use the plurals).

    And this isn't something you found written on a lollipop stick (or Penguin wrapper), is it?

    No its not, its something my French teacher taught me several years ago.

    What, that cookies are from the English word, biscuits from the French [via Middle English]? That according to my dictionary, biscuits are meant to be cooked twice (thought that was decent chips) stemming from the Latin, whereas cookies are from the Dutch for cake?

    So Jaffa Cakes are cookies then. Told you cookies were softer.

    YAY! You won.
    Biscuits (Bis-cuit) are cooked twice, Cookies only once.

    Hehehe! WV - jirkf
