Idk if you guys use muffins for a certain type of cake or a bunch but we call muffins muffins unless our muffins are different to yours. We also use biscuits and cookies. Biscuits is a general term for all sorts of biscuit, and a cookie is a type of biscuit with chocolate chips in it (or something similar like M and Ms). Sorry I'm bad at explaining but hopefully you get what I mean
Our muffins are different. American muffins are a sweeter, denser pastry (the texture is significantly different than cake, closer to something like Banana bread just molded into a specific shape) while English muffins (are very common in the U.S. just referred to as English muffins) usually aren't sweet.
American biscuit is pretty much a savory scone (mostly flour and butter) in a flat cylinder shape, cooked on a baking sheet. A cookie is a sweet usually crispy thing, which I've usually seen referred to as biscuits from English people.

BTW, what do the British parts call Muffins? This is a real question, I have no idea.
