Cookie or biscuit![]()
It looks like a Maryland cookie.
These were pushed at the poor unsuspecting British public as a little sweet taste of Americana in the 80s. The sold well, but in our defence we knew no better.
Then, some time later, proper cookies appeared - soft and chewy, not crisp and crumbly like the Maryland imposters.
Those Maryland ones still exist I believe - presumably only bought by old people.
Wouldn’t mind working at that bakers.I bought a whoopie pie the other day. Somewhere between a cake and a cookie, but definitely not a pie.
If it's cooked once, it's a cookie. If it's cooked twice, it's a biscuit. Simple. Without wishing to be patronising, biscuit is French for twice cooked.

I know what you mean, but Maryland cookies are great dunkers.
Me too, as long as 'used to' includes yesterday evening.I used to eat Maryland cookies a packet at a time.
agreed. Don't particulalry like the chewy cookies myself.I don't care who you are I believe you should show a bit more respect to Maryland cookies.
