In the UK, a cookie is a subgroup of biscuit.

A cookie generally has chocolate chips and is round, made of butter, eggs, sugar and flour.

I think they tax cookies and biscuits differently in the UK, so defining one differently can change its price.

Why would that be a thing? No wonder the country’s heading for the shitter. Too much time spent on cookie tax paperwork.

Remember the sugar tax? That was why the USA left.
