Cookies.

mmm. so many varieties we enjoy, but we never take the time to truly appreciate the simplicity that is, a cookie.

delicious.jpg

easy to eat, easy to make, and arguably one of the most delicious treats.

this thread is in devotion to the cookie, and from here on out we praise the cookie.

all types of cookies are welcome - but no "bars" of any sort, and that includes the brownie.

what cookie would you choose above all others?

i wanted love, i needed love
most of all, most of all
someone said true love was dead
but i'm bound to fall
bound to fall for you
oh what can i do

    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.

    They are the most insanely awesome thing ever.

    No, biscuits are slightly different. They are kinda sconeish, though.

    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.

    See, this is not helping, because in America if you call scones biscuits then presumably you call something else scones.

    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."

    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.

    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.

    And they're not sweet.

    Take one bag of Betty Crocker peanut butter cookie mix.

    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.
