bisuketto

In Japanese culinary contexts, a 'biscuit' in the American sense (the fluffy, savory bread) is not called ビスケット but is usually described as スコーン or 'scone'.
Japanese stores often sell クッキー in elaborate gift tins, as they are viewed as sophisticated presents rather than just casual snacks.
The word クッキー is a loanword from the English 'cookie', which itself originated from the Dutch word koekje, meaning 'little cake'.
