Differences Between a Biscuit & a Cookie
1st Sweetness of Cookies and Biscuits in the United States
In the United States, the difference between a cookie and a biscuit often comes down to sweetness. A cookie is sweeter than a biscuit, and it typically contains more sugar than a biscuit. Cookies are also considered part of a dessert menu, where biscuits are generally breakfast fare.
2nd Size and Texture of Biscuits and Cookies
Cookies and biscuits can be discerned by their size and texture. A cookie is flatter than a biscuit. Biscuits come in two forms: breakfast biscuits, which look similar to scones, and dessert biscuits, which look more like cookies. Breakfast biscuits can contain a variety of leavening agents that you may find in a cookie, including eggs, baking soda and baking powder, but they can also contain yeast. This makes a biscuit much lighter and fluffier than a cookie. Dessert biscuits are more similar to cookies, because they're fairly flat. In fact, they are more dense than a cookie. If you feel like your cookie needs to be dunked before it's soft enough to eat, then it's likely to be a biscuit.
3rd Accompaniments With a Biscuit or a Cookie
When you can't tell the difference between a biscuit and a cookie, sometimes the items it is served with can be an indicator. Cookies may be accompanied by ice cream, a glass of milk and chocolate desserts. If you are about to eat a biscuit, there may be jam, butter or cheeses on the table to spread on it.
