Cookie was never a term here until recently. Younger generations use the term for a different type of biscuit. Same with “fries”. Those were all chips when I was growing up. Australia has taken on many US terms that actually defy meaning, grammar and etymology.
When it's 90% sugar anything will taste good😁😁😁😁😂😂😂 In my opinion nothing beats a good old hard ANZAC biscuit with black tea from a billy boiled over a campfire.
Those cookies are so American. As an Aussie born in 1950, a sweet biscuit was a shortbread, a yoyo, or a chocolate ripple. Small with maybe a small amount of icing. Most definitely not a monster of a cake-like cookie capable of feeding a crowd.
I can't eat any of them, because I am diabetic. That doesn't really matter, because I don't like things that are too sweet. Even with chocolate, I prefer at least 70% cocoa. Call me strange, but I prefer my chocolate to taste like chocolate, rather than milk and sugar.😊
I didn't even know they did these. I stumbled onto your channel with your Aussie food video. I went to the US last year, so gained the opposite perspective. McGriddle at Maccas was so good over there.
What a shame, I was really hoping the Cheese Cake Shop would be a worthy alternative. I don’t like cookies or chocolate, sugar isn’t my thing, but I’m going to the States and someone has asked me to bring back Crumbl cookies. I guess I’ll be stopping at the quarantine line when I return.
Hi Caitlin I like anything that the cheesecake shop makes. There is a RUclips site from the USA that I keep in touch with. The site is called Iwrocker which stands for Ian Whelton. He lives in Rockford Illinois and gets parcels from different parts of Australia. He gets a lot of food and drink items from Australia and he likes all of the food and drink items he gets. He has a wife and 3 children and a lot of commentors class him and his family as honourary Aussies.
Cookie is when it’s looks like chocolate chip cookies 🍪 (like this) but like when other flavours too and biscuit is everything else so yea im calling these cookies
Good content! Looking forward to what you compare next? Beers? Potato chips? Ice creams? Fresh Fruit? Have you tried dragon fruit? Do they have that in the USA?
How about steaks both free range and grain fed. In Romania I had a choice of Australian, Uruguay or Argentina steaks. I tried Uruguay and there was not a great deal of difference. Or eggs? Or Hunter Valley / Barossa wines vs Napa Valley wines? Or cheese?
I know the words are practically interchangeable but if it’s bigger & softer, to me it’s a cookie. I like my cookies soft & my biscuits hard, because I dunk hard biscuits in my tea & eat cookies like cake. We don’t live near a cheesecake shop any more. Not worried about not getting their biscuits, but I do miss good cheesecake.
Wallywombat, frosting is a type of soft icing made with copious amounts of butter, pure icing sugar and a couple of drops of vanilla, beaten together until smooth. It can be made with margarine but it's not quite the same. It's sometimes called "Mock Cream". Hope this is helpful 😊 🙃🐨🇦🇺
Those cookies looked gross 😅 Even the 10 year-old version of me would have felt sick 😅 Have you compared Aussie and American potato chips? Can't remember.

Fresh from the oven is best
In Australia we have 'icing'. America has 'frosting'.

Maybe a big difference is sugarcane sugar vs corn syrup sugar and the different ways chocolate is made.

I here you
Yep, give me dark chocolate any day!
That 3rd one was Toblerone, a Swiss chocolate with honeycomb.
As an Aussie I completely agree, I use biscuit and cookie interchangeably. It doesn't matter, we know what it is regardless. Your focus isn't working.
Yeah, I think my camera is having issues. I dropped it and it hasn't been the same since 🙃 I might have to start filming on a phone again

Biscoff was amazing with the Hungry Jack's shakes and storm that they did not too long ago.
Have you had Oporto or El Jannah? They're my favourite chicken chains in West Sydney.

If you put all that on a biscuit it would go soft & no crunch!

They are soft because unlike Americans, Australians don’t overcook everything.
They look like a small cake. Love Tim Tam's and ANZAC biscuits. Plus Arnold's custard creams

Thank goodness this is a biscuit battle….if it was breakdancing…Australia would be crushed. Cheers.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Byron Bay choc chip “ cookies “ are soft !!
What is frosting?
Icing

@grandy2875 got it, don't like mock cream
@@grandy2875 Thank you for pointing that out. @grandy
@@grandy2875it's the same in Australia but we call it icing
Unfortunately Cheesecake shop isn’t as good as it used to be even the cakes are overpriced average.
I reckon it's ok to call this style of biscuit a cookie.
Those cookies looked gross 😅 Even the 10 year-old version of me would have felt sick 😅 Have you compared Aussie and American potato chips? Can't remember.
They are not underbaked that's the way they meant to be
Sugar bomb indeed!
Haha , your taste buds have aclimitised to Australia
Sorry the cheesecake "cookies" look gross
3 varieties at $10.95 for 2 cookies. Fu$k that.
It's incredible that people care about fast food. How about real food?
