In the United States and Canada, a cookie is a small, flat-baked treat containing milk, flour, eggs, sugar, etc. In most English-speaking countries outside North America, the most common word for this is "biscuit." In many regions both terms are used, while in others the two words have different meanings (a cookie is a plain bun in Scotland, while in the United States a biscuit is a kind of quick bread similar to a scone). 1, record 1, English, - cookie

cookie: El uso del español adoptó sin modificaciones el término inglés "cookie" a pesar de haberse propuesto diferentes equivalentes que no se arraigaron en el uso, entre los que se cuentan algunos que siguen literalmente el inglés, como "galletita" o "buñuelo", y los que hacen hincapié en la función, tales como "espía" y "fisgón". 6, record 2, Spanish, - cookie
