There are several different forms of cookies and biscuits and they are usually all the same thing just a different name.

@JudyEv Thanks for showing the lattice biscuits. I have never seen them before or the package above. I would love to be able to find them here and try the lemon lattice slice. It sounds like something I would love.

Are there any cookie types used as tops and/or bottoms for slices? If so, they would probably work just as well.

@JudyEv Thanks Judy. The first ones look like regular biscuits. The bottom look very thick like waffles to me.

@JudyEv it looks the closest to a filled wafer cookie. There is a Dutch thing called Sfroooenwaffle, but thAt has caramel in it. I meant wafer cookie. I was typing that on the kindle.

The cookie in the top photo looks like something that I have seen when I went to Canada. The second one reminds me of waffles! When I was a girl in St. Paul, Minnesota I had an amazing dessert. I think I bought it at Woolworths, a five and dime store. It was a large ice cream sandwich, a block of ice cream placed between two waffles. Heavenly! Never seen anything like it since. Thanks for the photos.

I remember my mother giving me some biscuits to dip in milk as a child. They had a lemon flavor. I don't remember the name but these reminded me of it and took me back in time.

Many of your cookie types I haven't heard of either. And we call cookies biscuits so that's another difference between us.

@JudyEv It's always interesting to me how similar our languages are...and yet how different. It's like chips and fries. I think you guys call French fries chips if I am not mistaken. Or is that the Brits?

We have similar types of biscuits here, maybe 15 years ago we wouldn't have had them but now we are much more international in the food department of our larger stores. It is like calling cake sponge, here we wash the sink with a sponge we don't eat it lol

Our version for babies would be arrowroots or rusks but have never heard of the lattice biscuits but they do kind of remind me of Triscuits now that I think about it. Love the idea of the filling!!
