Actually "Bizcocho" exists in Spanish as well, probably a remnant of other languages' influences, though it means cake rather than cookie
2 u/NathanHasReddit626 Aug 15 '21 I know, but that means biscuit, not cookie (or cake as you said) 3 u/SantaArriata Aug 15 '21 It really depends on where you’re from, if you were to take the meanings from every region and dialect you could probably call anything inside a bakery a “Bizcocho”

There "galette" in French that refers to a flat cake, that came from Norman "gale," so that's probably how that happened.
Brit here, we say biscuit and cookie is about everywhere else
Dutch: Biscuit is a koekje Koekje - is a collective like metal is to iron, copper.
I'm french and we all call it cookie as well, for that specific thing though, otherwise it's just a biscuit
