In America cookies are called cookies but all other biscuits are also called cookies. In Australia lollipops are called lollies but all other kinds of sweets are also called lollies. I don’t really know where I’m going with this.
I don't either, but in America biscuits are savory or near flavorless, not sweet like cookies.
They need to get better biscuits then!
What British people call biscuits are called cookies in America. American biscuits are more like what British people call scones
But a cookie is still a cookie - e.g. the one in the meme. That bit is universal.
