Biscuits and Cookies
Bakery Review|April-May2023
A cookie in Scotland is a plain bun and in USA, a biscuit is a quick bread like a scone, but in India, cookies and biscuits have great deal of similarities between them, both in terms of appearance and usage. For example, both can be eaten as sweet and/or savoury snacks, and both are convenient accompaniments to tea and coffee.
Biscuits and Cookies

Biscuits and cookies are small, sweetened, cereal-based, baked products. They are broadly characterized by dough properties and then further classified by the process used to form and place them on the oven band. In India, cookies and biscuits are from the same family though biscuits are often plainer than the cookies, and cookies tend to have ingredients like butter, peanut, nuts, fruits, chocolate, spices, etc. in them. Biscuits & Cookies are actually different in terms of texture, ingredients and much more.

Often shaped as discs, there isn't much difference between the two in terms of preparation. They are both baked goods. The key difference lies in the ingredients. Cookies are large, heavy, chunky, rough, and crispy and have more flavours and require many ingredients. On the other hand, biscuits are crispy, thin and fluffy. Biscuits only require a few ingredients and take a short time to bake. Both are staple accompaniments to your tea and coffee and you have seen them as part of so many desserts.

Different Bites 

Cookie, English name, is derived from the Dutch word 'koekje' which means 'little cake'. Cookies are loaded with flavours and take more time to bake, because of the thick batter and dense ingredients that range between nuts, oats, chocolate chips and resins. They are generally moist and chewy in texture.

Softness of a cookie would depend on how long they have been baked. Cookies can be made with relatively soft dough that could be done with oatmeal or even chocolate chips. They could be refrigerated, or moulded, which would require stiffer dough. Rolled or pressed cookies need cookie cutters, which could result in different decorative shapes of cookies. Soft sandwich cookies could have sweeter fillings, including jam or vanilla icing. Decoration of cookies could include icing, which enhances their status as a confectionery.
