The name 'cookie' derives from the Dutch koekje, which is a diminutive of koek, cake. A cookie is a small flat or slightly raised cake. In the USA cookies are generally large and chewy in texture.
In the UK, a cookie is not usually called a cookie. It is called a biscuit, from a French word for twice cooked bread. In the UK biscuits are generally small and crispy in texture. The UK term for a US-style biscuit is a scone.
