Biscuits (known as cookies in North America) are, generally, small flat baked treats that can be eaten during dessert or as a snack.
History[]
In 1994, house-elfs brought tea and a large tray of biscuits to Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, and Hermione Granger while they were visiting Dobby and Winky in the kitchens at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[1]
In 1995, Minerva McGonagall offered a Ginger Newt biscuit to Harry Potter after hearing that he had shouted at Dolores Umbridge and called her a liar for denying that Lord Voldemort had returned.[2]
During winters, Ambrose Turner and his daughter Lottie would make cookies together.[3]

Behind the scenes[]
- In the United States of America and Canada, biscuits are referred to as "cookies".[5]
