Biscuits

In Australia, the term biscuit refers to a baked, crisp, and often sweet treat, similar to what is called a cookie in the United States.

Biscuits come in a variety of textures and flavours, ranging from buttery shortbread and crunchy Anzac biscuits to chocolate-coated Tim Tams and delicate wafer biscuits. Some are plain and lightly sweetened, while others are filled with cream, jam, or chocolate.

Savoury biscuits, such as water crackers or cheese biscuits, are often served with dips or cheeses.

Biscuits are a popular accompaniment to tea or coffee, enjoyed as a snack or dessert. Whether homemade or store-bought, biscuits remain a favourite treat for all ages.
