Small sweet baked treat
A small, sweet, baked food, often round and flat, like a chocolate chip cookie.
استعمال کا انداز:
a [adjective] cookie
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse 'cookie' and 'biscuit'. In American English, 'cookie' is the normal word for a sweet baked snack, while in British English this is usually called a 'biscuit'. Also, remember to make 'cookie' plural when needed: say 'two cookies', not 'two cookie'.
ہم معنی الفاظ
biscuit (In British and some other varieties of English, 'biscuit' is the usual word for this kind of sweet baked snack.)
|
sweet (More general; refers to any small sugary food, not just baked ones like cookies.)

A small file that a website saves on your computer or phone to remember who you are or what you did on that site.
استعمال کا انداز:
accept [website] cookies
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes think an internet 'cookie' is a program or a virus. In fact, it is usually just a small text file that stores information. Also, do not confuse this meaning with the food; context about websites, browsers, or privacy almost always indicates the technical meaning.
