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
