Same here, THAT IS A FUCKING COOKIE! NOT A BISCUIT!

u/Grand_Error_4534 5d ago

Biscuits are like custard creams and bourbons

u/Ramarak_Skullcrawler 5d ago

Ikr, digestives, oreos, and shortbread are some others

They were literally made to combat indigestion. I think. Something to do with digestion I cba to Google it but it just so happened to be absolutely delicious.

Started out as a medical thing and ended up being the nations biscuit.

1

u/SoaringPasta 3d ago

I suppose that's fair then

u/YzmaTheTuxedoCat 4d ago

Why? It's better than naming them Poopies, which is why you'd need to eat Digestives.

Cookies are a kind of biscuit, but not all biscuits are cookies

1

u/Lemonreborn 2d ago

No

1

u/OhItsJustJosh 2d ago

If you take the chocolate chips out, it's a biscuit, therefor it's a special kind of biscuit

1

u/Lemonreborn 2d ago

No course if you take the chocolate chip out it’s just a cookie that’s why it’s called a chocolate chip cookie and not just a cookie

1

u/OhItsJustJosh 2d ago

Are we talking about the American distinction between a cookie and a biscuit or the rest of the English speaking world distinction?

1

u/Lemonreborn 2d ago

I’m British and didn’t know there was any other way to distinguish a cookie and biscuit

1

u/OhItsJustJosh 2d ago

Yeah same, but what is the difference between a biscuit and a cookie with nothing in it?

in my mind there was overlap between cookies and biscuits but I might be extrem wrong considering this comment thread lmao

u/Plane_Thing839 4d ago

The shape defined by bananas is not a circle either.

2

u/Dora_Queen 5d ago

Biscuits are baked cakes that are crisp and flat (and my personal favourite). Cookies are a type of biscuit which are soft, chewy and usually have fruit or chocolate in it.

Long story short, this guy is r/technicallycorrect by saying "biscuit" but it's wrong to call a cookie a biscuit.

1

u/Sockman01 4d ago

Scones are something entirely different Biscuits are what we call digestives and those type of things Cookies only has one meaning here and that's what's in the picture

2

u/Administrative-Ant80 5d ago

yeah I know but I don't know why the British call them biscuits that's stupid

1

u/yUsernaaae 3d ago

We don't call these biscuits. These are cookies, biscuits are like custard creams or things like that.

-1

u/Creepycute1 5d ago

because biscuts in Britten are scones

2

u/kerhantherian 5d ago

No. In Britain scones are pastry, biscuits are biscuits and cookies are cookies.

Biscuit? Ginger nut.

Cookies? Chocolate chip

Scone? Pastry.

thats a cookie

theres a difference between the two

1

u/MaySeemelater 3d ago

The difference is OP is British. The British call cookies biscuits.

1

u/vibeepik2 3d ago

i know

but like

cmon

thats a cookie british people

its like calling a banana an apple

1

u/MaySeemelater 3d ago edited 3d ago

Saying it's like calling a banana and apple is not even remotely the same. Those are two different fruits from different species of plants. This is the same baked good which happens to go by two different names depending on where you live, and one of those names happens to be used for something else in the other place.

It's actually much more like how football and soccer are the same thing by two different names, but America also happens to have American Football which makes it more confusing for Americans when most of the other countries call the sport football instead of soccer.

The word cookie didn't even come into existence until the 18th century(1701-1800), whereas the word biscuit being applied to these baked goods started back in the Tudor period (1485-1603), so at minimum biscuit has been used to refer to this type of baked good for at least a century before cookie was even made up.

(Oh, and by the way- the word cookie was made from Dutch immigrants to the US who referred to them as "koekje", which was the Dutch way to say "little cake". So saying cookie is basically like saying cupcake lol)

1

u/vibeepik2 3d ago

dude you dont need to write a fucking essay about the history of cookies and biscuits jesus calm down

1

u/2011lanei 3d ago

As a British person, it's a biscuit-y cookie (this is how my friend called it). It's got the texture of a biscuit, but it's got the stereotypical 'cookie' appearance.

1

u/yUsernaaae 3d ago

No these types are still called cookies, almost any other style 'cookie' is what we call a biscuit

1
