Mmm... I always love how they taste... And my mom makes them so crumbly and delicious (I really need to pilfer the recipe off of her)...

They literally melt in your mouth with how soft they are

I usually just get Sandies shortbread cookies. Which are usually pretty good.

Biscuit.

The term is biscuit.

In the United States it is a small, soft, leavened bread, somewhat similar to a scone. A Southern regional variation on the term, beaten biscuit, is closer to the British form.
In Commonwealth English, it is a small and hard, often sweet, baked product that would be called either a cookie or a cracker in the United States and Canada.

I live in Canada so it is a cookie >

I should, after all you are commonwealth so we practically own you right?

Icalasari · 2011-11-23 14:07:51

^ We don't have to listen to you guys! ):<

IanExMachina · 2011-11-23 14:37:15

But would you argue with the Scots who invented the shortbread?

They have axes and kilts and ~~stereotypes~~ everything!

Nyktos · 2011-11-23 21:11:59

Can't we all just agree that shortbread is delicious?

Icalasari · 2011-11-24 02:41:27

^ Yes. Yes we can

MadassAlex · 2011-11-24 02:52:16

> mention Commonwealth terminology
> chuckle-worthy derail

Although I feel sort of dirty. The cookie/biscuit one is so easy.

Seriously, though. Biscuit.

Icalasari · 2011-11-24 03:13:55

^ IT'S COOKIE AND I WILL CUT YOU IF YOU SAY OTHERWISE!

Yes I know threatening to cut the guy who is trained in swords is stupid but still :<

MadassAlex · 2011-11-24 03:19:43

Just goddamn shoot me already and be done with it. >

Waltzy · 2011-11-24 03:21:41

Biscookies.

MadassAlex · 2011-11-24 03:27:21

Cooscuits.

Waltzy · 2011-11-24 03:30:35

Ooh, biskies works too.

But it sounds like the word I use for biscuits. Like the roll kind.

TheConductor · 2011-11-24 05:18:03

In Scotland, we call short bread; short (show-rt) breed, and it's no a busicuit, it's jist short breed, as in;

"Ron, dae yeh want a biscuit?"

"Naw ma, a fancy a bit eh that short breed though"

Waltzy · 2011-11-24 05:22:53

Ahh, Scottish accents. <3

TheConductor · 2011-11-24 05:26:52

Ye lik' that, dae yeh, Waltzy? ;D

MadassAlex · 2011-11-24 06:02:35

Conductor, it's amazing that you can type your own accent out.

I mean, I couldn't type an Australian accent if my life depended on it. It doesn't help that I consider myself to have a fairly "neutral" accent, although some have disagreed, having it described as "slightly American" by some and "intensely Australian" by others. x_x

Waltzy · 2011-11-24 06:08:52

^^ I shall forever picture you in a kilt.

TheConductor · 2011-11-24 06:38:06

RACIST :@ ;

Icalasari · 2011-11-24 06:45:21

D'awwwww! You're cute even when swearing at people, Waltzy!

MadassAlex · 2011-11-24 06:46:59

^^ Pfft, at least you're better than the Welsh.

Waltzy · 2011-11-24 12:19:32

^^^ Hey! At least I didn't throw in bagpipes! XD

^^ asdfghjkl >///> thankyou

Icalasari · 2011-11-24 13:01:01

Howdy, Stranger!
