The cookie, which is also known as a biscuit in most countries outside the United States, is a type of, usually sweet although there are some savoury variants, baked item that tends to be small and flat.
The simplest cookie ingredients are just fat, sugar, flour and eggs. This is a rather boring type, and other ingredients are usually added to the mix. Cookies are very flexible, so there are a whole range of different varieties around. Some of the more popular additions to the mix are nuts, fruit - usually dried - and chocolate. Some cookies are also filled.
To cook them, the cookies are normally baked in an oven, but this does not have to be the case, as there are no-bake recipes around. No-bake cookies tend to be made from a binder, which is melted and then mixed with the other ingredients, and then allowed to set afterwards.
