french macaroons begat English biscuits which begat american cookies. What next?
In English-English, "biscuit" is the same thing as "cookie" in American-English.
French Macaroons.... they're on another level compared to what the English and Americans do (fresh, in France - in the UK and NL they've been disappointing).
URL is pretty funny on this regard as a Biscuit Sec in french is a dry biscuit, opposed to a soft one. Would the pun be intented ?
