Traditionally biscuit - except for Chocolate Chip Cookies which are based on US recipes. However, as TV and other global advertising intrudes more and more into our lives, cookie for all biscuits is heard increasingly often.

The US "biscuit" is a version of the scone, though softer and more doughy, but it seems that because we want to please the Americans (who have difficulty with anything that is "foreign") our biscuit may lose to cookie, just as patty cakes are losing out to cup cakes and hundreds-and-thousands to sprinkles.
