    Cookies are soft and thicker, biscuits are hard and thinner, therefore less calories ! (UK)

    If you can put sausage gravy on it then it's a biscuit.

    We call those scones, too. If you're making them hard or not eating them with jam, you're doing it wrong. XD

    In Australia (or at least in the part I live), biscuits and cookies are basically the same thing, although they're only called cookies when they have chocolate chips or similar in them.

    Yes I agree with what this poster said back in 2013.
    In Australia cookie and biscuit are basically interchangeable terms for the same thing.

    The other things shown are scones.

    Nobody would put gravy on a biscuit here! :o

    A cookie is like a dessert, chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal, etc. A biscuit is something you have for breakfast sometimes with gravy lol
