minus-squareAwoo [she/her]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-21 year agoBiscuits refers to all types of biscuits. Whether it’s bourbons, custard creams, nice, digestive, rich tea, etc etc etc. “Cookies” are one specific type of biscuit. What americans usually call “biscuits” we instead call “scones” and they’re not even part of the biscuit family.

Though I still don’t know how to translate Polish confectionary names properly so that they would be accurate for both dialects xddd
