A biscuit is a flour-based baked food product.

In most countries, particularly in the
Commonwealth and Ireland, biscuits are
typically hard, flat and unleavened. They are
usually sweet and may be made with sugar,
chocolate, icing, jam, ginger or cinnamon. They
can also be savoury and similar to crackers.
Types of biscuit include sandwich biscuits,
digestive biscuits, ginger biscuits, shortbread
biscuits, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate-
coated marshmallow treats, Anzac biscuits,
biscotti and speculaas. In most of North
America, nearly all hard sweet biscuits are
called "cookies", while the term "biscuit" refers
to a soft, leavened quick bread similar to a
scone; see biscuit (bread).
