Its name derives from the Dutch word koekje which means little cake, and arrived in the English language via the Scots language, rather than directly from the Dutch. In Scottish English the word denotes a small scone-like cake or bun, often filled with cream.
Did you know?? The word cookie in English is used mainly to identify American-style biscuits such as "Chocolate-Chip Cookies". Cookies were first made from little pieces of cake batter that were cooked separately in order to test oven temperature.
