For me, the best description I've been given comes down to the way that they are baked:

Cookies - Starts from a ball or blob, which spreads into a flattened shape during baking.

Biscuits - Starts from a shape cut from a flat rolled sheet, that mostly retains its shape during cooking.

Which would make biscuits "Plätzchen" in German.
