The word cookie comes from the French term galette, and refers to a baked cake made with a dough based on flour, butter, sugar, and eggs. Cookies can also incorporate other ingredients that create a wide variety. They can be savory or sweet, simple or filled, or with different add-ins (such as dried fruits, chocolate, jam, and others). There are several types of cookies depending on their preparation method or ingredients, for example:

- Wafer: a long soft cookie with different layers of filling, also called wafer.
- Galletones: a large individual cookie, usually with added nutritional value.
- Pretzel or bowtie: a type of cookie with a particular shape.
- Fortune cookie: a certain type of cookie that can be acquired in Asian restaurants, which contains a fortune message.

It is worth noting that in some countries the name cookie is used interchangeably for both cookies and crackers. It is important to highlight that in English there is a differentiation, as the former are called cookies, while the latter are crackers; which come from "crack," the most commonly used onomatopoeia in Eastern Europe.
