Kaltia, so do we. But "biscuits" are not sweet, they are slightly leavened bread, closer to scones than any thing else, I guess. And the etymology of "cookie" is straightforward:

Main Entry: cook·ie
Variant(s): or cooky /'ku-kE/
Function: noun:
Inflected Form(s): plural cook·ies
Etymology: Dutch koekje, diminutive of koek cake
Date: 1703
1 : a small flat or slightly raised cake

Biscuits are similar:

Main Entry: bis·cuit
Pronunciation: 'bis-k&t
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural biscuits also biscuit
Etymology: Middle English bisquite, from Middle French bescuit, from (pain) bescuit twice-cooked bread
Date: 14th century
1 a : any of various hard or crisp dry baked products: as (1) : British : CRACKER 4 (2) : British : COOKIE b : a small quick bread made from dough that has been rolled out and cut or dropped from a spoon
