A cookie is a baked or cooked food that is typically small, flat and sweet. It usually contains flour, sugar, and some type of oilor fat. It may include other ingredients such as raisins, oats, chocolate chips, nuts, etc.
The most common word for a crisp cookie is biscuit. The term cookie is normally used to describe chewier ones. However, in many regions both terms are used. The container used to store cookies may be called a cookie jar.
Cookies are most commonly baked until crisp or just long enough that they remain soft, but some kinds of cookies are not baked at all. Cookies are made in a wide variety of styles, using an array of ingredients including sugars, spices, chocolate,butter, peanut butter, nuts, or dried fruits. The softness of the cookie may depend on how long it is baked.
Cookies make great gifts, and the heavenly smell they leave in the kitchen is certainly a perk.
