I've noticed a lot of Brits tend to prefer crispy crunchy cookies and a lot of Americans like soft chewy cookies. Maybe it's cultural.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, we like both. Biscuits are small and crisp and cookies are big and chewy.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm American and like both types.

(Also I always kind of thought biscuits were a type of cookie, though not all cookies were biscuits. The ones in the pic are what I would think of as biscuits.)

[deird1]

As an Australian, I would classify cookies as a type of biscuit. :)

[mimi_sardinia]

Fellow Aussie, I agree, though I view "cookie" as a specific type of biscuit.

[(Anonymous)]

What are biscuits tgat are not cookies like?

[greghousesgf]

I'm American and I love both, I just said "a lot of", certainly not "all" or even "most".

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know about that. I'm American and I like both. Plenty of Americans do, which is why we have recipes for both kinds of cookies.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd like to see that, but honestly even if they did an American style cookie challenge, they might mess it up like they did with the American pie challenge.

[tabaqui]

That was horrifying.

[(Anonymous)]

It just seemed so pointless to do an American pie challenge and then make things that barely resemble American pies.

[tabaqui]

Right? And, at the same time, to bitch about American pies like they were the worst things ever. Like - why bother? So ridiculous.

[philstar22]

It was. No one seemed to know what an American pie was, including (especially) the judges.

[tabaqui]

I know! Wth was that all about?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sitting here wondering how badly they must have screwed up to fuck up fruit pies. Flour, butter and/or shortening, and ice water and/or vodka for the crust, fruit, sugar, flour or quick-cooking tapioca for thickener, maybe some cinnamon or vanilla, and a bit of butter in the filling. How hard is that, once you know hoe to make piecrust?

[(Anonymous)]

I think they mostly made tarts rather than pied, and had ideas like American pies *had* to be single-crust.

[greenvelvetcake]

I've never heard of using vodka in pie crust before. What kind of effect does it have on the texture?

[tabaqui]

This! The only 'hard' cookie i like is an Oreo. Otherwise, I want chewy.

[(Anonymous)]

+100000

[initiala]

I prefer chewy cookies/biscuits myself, but I always, 100% of the time drown the things in milk anyway, so maybe it's something like they eat them with tea and that makes the crispy cookies/biscuits softer??

idk man, this just makes me remember how confused I was the first time I read the scene where McGonagall offered Harry a biscuit and I thought she just kept Pillsbury biscuits in a tin in her office, like that was a normal thing to do.

[deird1]

You dip them in your tea, and it softens them.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sure there us an actual definition. In regards to biscuits/cakes which I imagine would translate to the biscuit/cookie scenario, in regards to how they react when going stale? I'm sure someone could google it.
But as an Enligh lass I'd call cookies, cookies and biscuits biscuits. They're not the same thing. After all we have cookies here too...

[(Anonymous)]

Snickerdoodle!

[(Anonymous)]

Biscuits aren't cookies! Simple.
