I don't know the type, but my mom buys boxes of frozen cookie dough cookies. They come in four varieties of chocolate: white chocolate chunks, milk chocolate chunks, mixed white and milk chocolate chunks, and chocolate with chocolate chunks.
You take the cookies you feel like eating (which are in frozen dough form), put them on a plate in the oven for five mintues so they bake, and five minutes later you have awesomely delicious hot cookies fresh out of the oven.
I have heard that in Americaland, they use the word biscuit to refer to scones. Is this true
You're thinking of a pastry, usually bready or savory, slightly dry? Never sweet or sugary, never with chocolate chips or fruit, and may be made from wheat or buttermilk, yes?
We call those "biscuits." Note that we don't add currants or raisins or any such gayness. A biscuit in the US is just bread. Virgin bread, waiting to be defiled with gravy or butter.
A "scone" in the US is similar, but sweet (flavored with fruit or chocolate) and is usually much, much denser and heavier, and is typically eaten with breakfast.
Feral on
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Ah. See, in the rest of the world, a biscuit is not bread. A biscuit is small hard and flat, like this or girl guide cookies. What you are describing is known as a scone. It can have currents and crap though.

Most of the time, we call those "cookies," but if they're particularly flat and dry (much like the one you posted) and obviously meant for dunking in a beverage they might be marketed here as "tea biscuits."

That depends
what the hell's a scone
Kinda like a sweet roll, often with fruit or some such in it. The thing with scones is that they get the fluffy from butter releasing steam when it cooks and if you make them wrong come out hard as rocks and slightly less edible.

Good scones rock though.
Sweet in America, apparently. You can make it anyhow elsewhere.
Also who the hell doesn't know what a scone is
OK so my parents (australian) say SKON so I call it a 'skon.' Everyone here ridicules me however, saying scone should rhyme with stone. Whay say ye brits - you invented the treats.
Oh and scones with fresh whipped cream and stawberry jam are too delicious.
M&M, chocolate chip, macedamia-nut cookies, peanut butter cookies are all awesome. For a christmas present my sister got me a "cookie of the month" subscription and she is sending me a batch of homemade cookies a month for 6 months. It is truly awesome.

I'm not a Brit, but I understand opinion is divided in the UK as well. I say skon.

Me, evidently.
So, uhm, based on the picture Wikipedia comes up with, I will say that yes, a scone is what we call a biscuit in America.
I've never heard of them being made with fruit, though.

God, those things are delicious.

They are the most insanely awesome thing ever.
i did a search and it brought me to this post
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
It doesn't get any better.
Totally

The cookies I was raised on are not dissimilar to the bits used in Protestant communion.

And they're not sweet.
Prepare as instructed, adding 2 tbsp. crunchy peanut butter to the mix.
Right after you take them out of the oven, spoon a dollop of Nutella onto each cookie.
Drizzle rainbow sprinkles onto the sticky Nutella.
Let cool for about 5-10 minutes.
Enjoy the some of the best cookies ever, preferably with a large glass of milk.
No, we call biscuits biscuits. No American knows nothing about no scones. 'Cepting those latte-drinking pansies on the West coast.
