I prefer my cookie dough baked into cookies. I do love cookies-and-cream icecream though, does that have cookie dough or bits of cooked cookie? I don't usually eat raw cookie dough, I love uncooked cake batter but cookie dough not so much.
I love the word cookie though! It has such a yummy sound
. I grew up calling cookies biscuits, as we tend to do in Australia, and usually I prefer to stick with Australian terms for things rather than use the Americanisms, but cookie sounds so much yummier than biscuit.
