[quote=Anonymous]are lots of "American" cookies varying from thin and crispy to thick and chewy. Putting down a class if sweets from an entire country like the OP is just ridiculous. Having lived in the UK I can say I enjoy various sweets there that aren't normally eaten here (steamed puddings), but as a whole I, like most people, like what I grew up with. Personally I think the idea of the less sweet commercially prepared biscuits in the UK and Europe isn't due to a more "refined" palate. I think (just mho) it was born of necessity. Rationing wasn't as big a deal here in the us due to the wars but it a huge deal in parts if Europe and the UK. Sugar was rationed until 1953 in the UK. Yeah You tend to have like things less sweet when that's your option. Recipes born from that are what they are. [/quote]
