What's the difference between cookies and cookies?

Cookies are a kind of baked goods, and cookies are also a kind of cookies (cookies come from the transliteration of English COOKEY, which means cookies), but they are more delicate than ordinary cookies with butter. Soft cookie is a soft and sweet butter cookie.

1. The word biscuit originated from Latin "biscoctus" or "twice baking". The rations of the ancient Roman army were biscuits. Dry bread, compressed biscuits, cakes, dry toast and other foods all come from "biscoctus". The development of modern science and technology has spawned more and more biscuit products. Some cupcakes and waffles also belong to this kind of food. Most English-speaking countries still retain the traditional definition of "biscuit". 2. In the United States, "biscuit" is redefined as "a small and soft bread product that can be fermented quickly and still be hot when eaten. Generally, it can replace bread and eat with other dishes. " According to the Oxford Dictionary, the word "biscuit" was used as early as14th century. The specific definition is as follows: biscuit, a kind of crisp and dry bread, is made of both soft and hard, usually made of flat and thin cake molds. Its main raw materials are flour, water, and sometimes milk, without yeast. Candy biscuits or fancy biscuits usually have different tastes and styles. This interpretation does not highlight the "hard" characteristics of biscuits. In the American Webster dictionary, a biscuit is defined as a small baked snack, usually fermented with flour and milk. The Oxford Dictionary also defines biscuits: in Scotland, biscuits are a general term for ordinary buns by bakers. In the United States, biscuits usually refer to small flat desserts (that is, English biscuits). In many places, such as South Africa and Canada, biscuits refer to salty and sweet snacks of various shapes. 4. The Oxford Encyclopedia of American Food and Beverage mentioned: "17th century, early British and Dutch immigrants brought cookies to the United States. At that time, the British called biscuits and almond biscuits snacks, seed biscuits and refreshments. Dutch people call it "koekjes", that is, biscuits, which gradually evolved into "cookies" and "cookey" and became American vocabulary. After the American War of Independence, people from all over the United States came to new york and gradually got used to the word cookie, so the name gradually became popular. " The similarities and differences between cookies and cookies are really hard to understand at once. If you are an American and want to argue with your English friends about semantic differences, it is even more difficult to explain.
