Cookie is a small, flat and sweet food cooked or baked. It usually contains flour, sugar and some types of oil or fat. This may include other ingredients such as raisins, oats, chocolate pieces, nuts, etc.
In most English-speaking countries except the United States and Canada, dry cookies are called biscuits . Chewier biscuits are sometimes called cookies even in the UK. Some cookies can also be named by their shapes, such as date boxes or trunks.
Cookies or biscuits can be mass-produced at the factory, made in small or homemade bakeries. Biscuits or baking variants include biscuit sandwiches, such as custard creams, Jammie Dodgers, Bourbons and Oreos, with marshmallows or jams and sometimes dipped in chocolate or other sweet coatings. Cookies are often served with drinks such as milk, coffee or tea. Factory-made cookies are sold in grocery stores, convenience stores, and vending machines. Newly baked cakes are sold in bakeries and coffee shops, with the latter ranging from small to multinational companies like Starbucks.

Terminology
In most English-speaking countries outside of North America, including the UK, the most common word for crunchy cookies is biscuits . The term cookie is usually used to describe chewier ones. However, in many areas both terms are used.
In Scotland, the term cookie is sometimes used to describe plain bread.
Cookies are baked as a solid layer on a baking sheet and then cut instead of baked as individual pieces, called in English cookie slats or trays .

Etymology
The American name is derived from the Dutch word koekje or rather its informal variant, the dialect of koekie meaning small cake, and arrives in American English with the Dutch settlement in New Netherland, in the early 1600s.
According to the Scottish National Dictionary, the Scottish name comes from a small form (suffix -ie ) of the word cook , gives cookies Middle Scots i>, cooky or cu (c) kie . It also provides an alternative etymology: like the American word, from the Dutch koekje , the small of the koek , the cake. There have been many trade and cultural contacts in the North Sea between the Low Countries and Scotland during the Middle Ages, which can also be seen in the history of curling and, perhaps, golf.
Description
Cookies are usually roasted until crunchy or long enough to remain soft, but some types of cookies are not baked at all. Cookies are made in a variety of styles, using a variety of ingredients including sugar, spices, chocolate, butter, peanut butter, nuts, or dried fruits. The softness of cookies depends on how long it is roasted.
A general theory of cookies can be formulated in this way. Despite coming down from cakes and other sweet rolls, the cake in almost all its forms has left the water as a medium for cohesion. Water in the cake serves to make a base (in which case the cake called "dough") is as thin as possible, allowing bubbles - responsible for the pie - to shape better. In cookies, cohesion agents have become some form of oil. Oils, whether they are in the form of butter, vegetable oil, or lard, are much thicker than water and evaporate freely at temperatures much higher than water. So a cake made with butter or egg instead of water is much denser after being removed from the oven.
The oil in baked cookies does not behave like soda tend to be in the final result. Instead of yawning and thickening the mixture, they remain, saturating the bubbles of gas released from the little water that may be present in the egg, when added, and carbon dioxide released by heating the roasting powder. This saturation produces the most textually appealing feature of cookies, and indeed all fried foods: the saturation is saturated with moisture (ie oil) that does not sink into it.
History
Cookies like hard wafers have been around as long as baking is documented, partly because they deal with travels very well, but they are usually not sweet enough to be considered cookies by modern standards.
Cookies seem to come from the 7th century Persia, soon after the use of sugar became relatively common in the region. They spread to Europe through Muslim conquests in Spain. In the 14th century, they were common in all walks of life throughout Europe, ranging from royal cuisine to street vendors.
With the ever-expanding global journey at that time, the cakes made a natural traveling companion, a modern counterpart of the travel cake used throughout history. One of the most popular early cakes, which travel very well and is known on every continent with a similar name, is a jumble, relatively hard cake mostly made of beans, sweeteners, and water.
Cookies came to America through the Netherlands in New Amsterdam in the late 1620s. The Dutch word "koekje" in Anglicized becomes "cookie" or cooky . The earliest reference to cookies in America was in 1703, when "The Netherlands in New York provided... 'in 1703... at 800 funeral cakes...'"
The most common modern cookies, given the style by creaming butter and sugar, were not common until the 18th century.
Classification
Cookies are broadly classified based on how they are formed, including at least this category:
- Cookie bar consists of dough or other ingredients that are poured or pressed into a pan (sometimes in multiple layers) and cut into chunks sized pastry after baking. In English English, the cookie bar is known as "bakes tray". Examples include brownies, fruit boxes, and bars like date boxes.
- Cookie Drop is made of a relatively soft dough dropped with a spoon onto a baking sheet. During grilling, dough mounds spread and flatten. Chocolate chip cookies (cookies Toll House), oatmeal cookies (or oatmeal raisins), and stone cake are popular examples of drop cookies. This may also include a thumbprint cookie , in which a small central depression is made with the thumb or small spoon before baking to contain stuffing, such as jam or chocolate chips. In the UK, the term "cookie" often refers only to this particular type of product.
- The filled cake is made of rolled-up cake dough stuffed with fruit or confectionery before baking. Hamantashen is a filled cookie.
- Cookies shaped are also made from a more rigid dough that is shaped into balls or cake shapes by hand before baking. Snickerdoodles and peanut butter are examples of cakes that are formed. Some cakes, such as a hermit or biscotti, are molded into large flat buns which are then cut into smaller cakes.
- Non-Bake Cookies are made by mixing fillers, such as cereals or beans, into melted lollipops, forming cookies or sticks, and allowing it to cool or harden. The Oatmeal and Rum Rum group is a pastry.
- Pressed cookies are made from soft dough extruded from a cookie cutter to various decorative forms before baking. SpritzgebÃÆ'¤ck is an example of a pressed cookie.
- Cookies cookies (also known as cookies icebox ) are made from a cooled rigid dough to make the dough raw even harder before cutting and baking. The dough is usually formed into a cylinder that is sliced ​​into a round cake before baking. The pinwheel cookies and those made by Pillsbury represent.
- Rolled cake is made of harder dough that is rolled and cut into shape with a pastry cutter. Gingerbread men are an example.
- The sandwich cake is rolled or pressed cookies that are assembled as sandwiches with sweet stuffing. Its contents include marshmallows, jams, and icing. Cookie Oreo, made from two chocolate cakes with vanilla icing stuffing, is an example.
Cookies can also be decorated with a layer of sugar, especially chocolate, and very similar to a kind of confectionery.
