I'm one of those "American types" and I think this does qualify as a biscuit. Cookies are sweet, biscuits are savory.

ahh thanks for that! because here biscuits are sweet, so things like "biscuits & gravy" sounds like crazy talk ;) however, along with starbucks & subway, cookies are proliferating here! and mysteriously i think most people have always used *cookie* cutters, not biscuit cutters lol..

I was under the impression that 'biscuits' were like scones... or maybe dumplings.
From the recipes I've seen, anyway.
