 Introduction:-
In order to produce cookies having their
own special characteristics, an
understand of raw material, process and
special attention for extended shelf life

What's the difference between biscuits & cookies
The original term "biscuit" derives from the Latin "bis
coctus," or "twice baked." Ancient Roman armies were
issued biscuits as part of their rations. Hardtack, ships
biscuit, rusk and mandelbrot descend from this culinary
lineage. Advances in technology permitted a wider range of
biscuit products. Small cakes and delicate wafers were
gradually added to the family of biscuits. In most English-
speaking countries, the traditional definition of biscuit
remains. In the United States the term "biscuit" was
reassigned to denote a small, soft, quick-leavened bread
product served piping hot. Cookies are biscuits in
UK, Australia,NewZealand. Biscuits are fluffy
bread, similar to scones but not as hard in the US.
