Cookie, is a sweet flour baked with different flavors, shape, size and color. Every country has a special way to treat you with their specially made cookie. Some cookies are soft and melt as soon as you put them in mouth, while some are crunchy and bulky in shape. Here are not to miss cookies when you visit these countries-
1. Afghan Biscuit
This traditional New Zealand cookie is baked with cornflakes and topped with chocolate icing and walnuts, making it soft and rich with a touch of crunchy from the cornflakes. It's uncertain, but the cookie may have been named after the Afgan cameleers and camel trains that played a huge part in exploring and developing the Australian outback from the 1800s to the early 1900s.
2. Anzac Biscuit
Originally called a "soldier's biscuit" during World War I, when Australian and New Zealand soldiers' mothers and wives sent the cookies to the troops overseas, the Anzac biscuit, or "bikkie," can be chewy or hard and is made with rolled oats and often coconut and golden syrup. Today, it's known as Australia's national cookie and is baked in April in honor of Anzac Day on April 25.
3. Baratfule
A triangular dumpling filled with jam and coated with fried bread crumbs, barátfüle was invented by a German chef named Freund, who called the cookie "Freund's filled pockets," according to Krisztina Maksai, author of European Cookies. Today, barátfüle translates to "friend's ear." It's made by cutting the dough into small triangles and boiling it.
4. Butter Cookie
Generally made with just butter, flour and sugar, a butter cookie is crisp and can come in all kinds of shapes, including circles, squares, rings or pretzels, and designs, such as plain, marbled or checkered. These cookies are made and sold in tin boxes in Denmark and are exported to other countries.
5. Chocolate Chip Cookie
Originally called a "chocolate chunk cookie," the chocolate chip cookie — a chewy, gooey, and often crunchy cookie made with chocolate chips — was invented in 1937 by Ruth Graves Wakefield, who ran the Toll House Restaurant in Whitman, Mass.

In 1997, the chocolate chip cookie was designated the official cookie of the commonwealth.
