These look wonderful! I love how the meaning of words like cookie and biscuit can be so different, depending on one's locaction. In the U.S. a cookie is a catch-all term, and can be anything from a chewy chocolate chip or a grainy pecan sandy to a crunchy ginger snap. Biscuits to us are those fluffy, buttery quick breads served with fried chicken and gravy. My favorite type of cookies (biscuit) at the moment--it changes!--are Italian biscotti da inzuppo--those plain, tender, and generously portioned cookies that are meant for dipping in morning cappuccino or a glass of milk.
