I first found them in taiwan, and they became my favorite cookies right away. They just call them cookies in Taiwan. Then I found them in thailand, where they are called cookies. And everywhere I’ve found them since they are just called cookies, I’ve never come across any special name for them.
Do you know one?
AI says “gem biscuit”, which is ringing a bell. I might have seen the word gem somewhere before on a bag of these.
Apparently they are common in the UK, Malaysia and Singapore. I can’t really say where they originated. They are definitely not as common here as when I was a child though
Someone spoke up from Latin America, so I guess they’re everywhere! Good news for this guy.
