What do British people call most cookies?

• Biscuits
• Crisps
• Rockets
• Pops

American biscuits are small, fluffy quick breads, leavened with baking powder or buttermilk and served with butter and jam or gravy. They are close to what the British would call scones. To most of the rest of the English-speaking world, a biscuit is what Americans would refer to as either a cookie or a cracker. Biscuits can be sweet (shortbread) or savory. They're baked in the oven, and they're crisp, not chewy. What about chewy cookies, like chocolate chip or Snickerdoodle? These aren't nearly as common in the UK as they are in the US, but when they're made there, they're still called cookies.
