Hi. I'm a fulltime mom. My kids love eating cookies and so I spend some of my spare time baking cookies using cookie cutter sets. Thankfully, my mother gave me bulk cookie cutters that allow me to bake several varieties of cookies without much hassle.

It's a cake! There was a huge case a few years back regarding the VAT status as VAT is payable on chocolate covered biscuits but not cakes. Cakes go hard when left out, whereas biscuits go soft. The Tribunal held that it was a cake and so McVities do not pay VAT on Jaffa Cakes in the UK.
TRUEFACT.

Have heard the same. It was the argument McVities used to avoid paying VAT on Jaffa Cakes.

I'm from this region. We don't call them cookies. The girlfriend must have afflicted him with this term. A cookie is a Maryland cookie, the cookies from the bakery section of a supermarket, or bakers (obv...) or a biscuit specifically with chocolate chips in it. The end.

And they baked a big one to prove that just because it was biscuit sized, did not make it a biscuit.

IIRC, there wass a similar Pringles case, where the company tried to argue that Pringles was a bread product, as the snack is baked from a dough (albeit a potato dough). This classification would mean they didn't pay VAT. However, the tribunal ruled that Pringles were undeniably considered as a "crisp" product so were liable for VAT.

That is just wrong!
I think of Jaffa Cakes as cakes trying to be biscuits.

Don't Pringles have an addictive additive to make sure that "once you pop you just won't stop"?

The only ones that I call cookies are those slightly chewy type ones you can buy at the cookie store in shopping malls, those and Marylands. And just to throw something else into the pot, Crisps are crisps, not chips!

Pringles have MSG in them - mono sodium glutamate, a flavour enhancer that is used in many crisps, convenience foods and Chinese take aways. Horrible stuff, makes me thirsty and irritable ?
