In the U.S., cookies = dessert. Biscuit = a type of bread eaten with a meal. Sometimes a biscuit is a sweet cracker (more common in other countries). Those are the 2 types of biscuits that I frequently see.

I will confuse things a little by adding crackers. Cookies are sweet, biscuits are a type of fluffy bread, and crackers are sort of like cookies, except that they're not sweet. In the rest of the English-speaking world, I think they say biscuit for what we call either a cookie or a cracker.
