I have been wondering what is the difference between a biscuit and a cookie? According to various definitions, a biscuit is a hard baked good while a cookie is a soft baked good. Alternatively, these are just interchangeable terms used by the British and the Americans.
Last weekend, I have decided to bake fruity biscuits and cookies. These lovely carrot and raisin biscuits are baked out of 115g butter and 115g light brown sugar creamed together and an egg is then beaten in, 55g grated carrots, 85g raisins, 115g flour, one tsp of baking powder, one tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg and a pinch of ground ginger are then mixed in to form a sticky dough. The dough is then chilled for an hour before being baked in tbspn-size cookies at 170 fan/190 degrees for 10 - 15 mins.
The Husband seemed to like it well enough and these 24 cookies were finished in a day in the Office!
