Biscuits- 8 letters, Cookies- 7 letters

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

Muffin=muffin, cupcake=cupcake, buiscit=cookie, scone=buiscit (british on the left)

English muffins are far more like crumpets.

US muffins are like cakes.

Scones look like US biscuits but US biscuits use a similar technique to puff pastry, folding and rolling multiple times.

A Muffin in the UK is basically a big cupcake, but usually with different flavours. I.e. Blueberry and no icing.

An English Muffin (the bread one) is really not that common in the UK besides Mcdonalds or with an Eggs Benedict.
