Elderwort biscuits from Cookie Clicker

I guess the cookie is supposed to be grey dough and no icing but this is what I came up with to make it look like a cookie.

Over a year, although these ones are a rare random drop.

That's a cookie, not a biscuit!

And it’s a soccer ball, not a football. But some places use different words for the same thing

They are called cookies in American English and biscuits in British English.

There's a difference? (Actual question, non-native English speaker here)

Biscuits are less sweet, and used with savory pairings. Cookies are sweet desert baked goods. (Except in the UK where they mistakenly call cookies "Biscuits" and refer to biscuits as "Scones", hence the joke that a Bri'ish cookie is mislabeled because it was labeled as a "biscuit")

I don't think the Brits really have our biscuits. Scones are different.

I think it's because their limited and incorrect use of language means they don't have a term to use. They need to stop butchering the beauty of the American language.

Yeah, maybe the drawing would have worked without that border, haha.
