In the UK, and many other countries, a biscuit is and has always been the equivalent of a US (may Canadian) cookie. Biscuits as we in the US know them, made with flour, milk, eggs, and a leavening were not around until the mid-19th century when baking powder and baking soda were invented.

Trying to remember that Monty Python quote about biscuits.. Something like–“let’s kill him anyway!”
LOL. Yes, they are cookies in Canada, too. When I was in England for a year as a child, I announced that I would bring cookies to the Christmas celebration at school. Then I had to explain that I’d meant biscuits. 🙂
