Origin of Animal Crackers[edit]
There's a mental floss article online claiming animal crackers were invented in England. The article says animal crackers' origin is in the U.S.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:6000:1418:4006:709C:D974:6573:2A41 (talk) 23:20, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
Malted milk biscuits[edit]
Is there not a type of biscuit called a "Malted Milk" biscuit? No wonder this article had the incompleteness tag! ACEOREVIVED (talk) 16:04, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
Yes, there is - and I have just found out that has its own article in Wikipedia at Malted_milk_(biscuit). Would any one care to add it to the list, thank you? ACEOREVIVED (talk) 13:20, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- Done. NORTH AMERICA1000 04:08, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
Should we change the opening sentence?[edit]
I wonder whether we should change the opening sentence that says "This is a list of cookie and biscuit varieties". "Cookie" is just the American English word for biscuit, so cookies ARE biscuits; would it not be more sensible if the opening sentence said "This is a list of cookies (U.S. English) or biscuits (U.K. English) varieties - changing the word "and" to "or" would seem to me to make more sense. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 14:56, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
- That sounds like a good plan. Maybe we should even consider a page move to List of biscuits and cookies. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 18:25, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
- Not sure about the "US/British English" thing. It's not just language. They are two different things, and have separate articles. Perhaps the lede needs expanding to explain the definitions. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:08, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
- I agree with the proposal. The standard word is biscuit. The American usage is a minority.Royalcourtier (talk) 07:13, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
Another suggestion[edit]
Another omission from this table seems to be the Lemon Puff biscuit. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 14:59, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
It could go there now, because I have created an article on the Lemon Puff in Wikipiedia. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 15:47, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
It has now got deleted. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 19:50, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
Well, going to Wikipedia: Articles for deletion and searching through the archived topics, there did not appear to be a reference to "Lemon Puffs" anywhere so I do not know what happened to the article, perhaps it was just never saved. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 14:37, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
Baked[edit]
Whatever you call them, cookies/biscuits are according to our articles baked. They certainly are not the same thing as pastries, and I'll be removing pastries (and have done some already). Dougweller (talk) 20:47, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
I agree - pastries could go at List of pastries. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 19:52, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
Changing a column heading[edit]
Shouldn't the column headed "Place" really be headed with "Place of origin", as I believe that that is what the column is meant to be saying? ACEOREVIVED (talk) 15:26, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Toll House Inn[edit]
Should Toll House Inn get its own section? My understanding is it's a brand of cookie, not a distinct type. Johnsonmx (talk) 06:33, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
Merger complete[edit]
Merger complete. Information from Oat crisps has been merged into this article. NORTH AMERICA1000 04:04, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
Is this article too big?[edit]
and should be broken in two and dipped in tea/coffee UK/US? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.99.108.78 (talk) 12:50, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

Chinsuko?[edit]
I think the Okinawan lard-based biscuit might fit in this list. I am not experienced with editing and am likely to botch it up—I would appreciate it if someone could add Chinsuko to the list. Branches of Dichotomy (talk) 13:07, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
