Cookie

Cookies were small bite-sized sweet handfoods often available from taverns, bakeries, and street vendors across the Realms and favored by the sweet-toothed hin.

"In Al Qahara at the desert’s edge, they make a concoction out of flour, chicken's eggs, sugar, and cow’s butter, which they mix together into a sort of paste. Then they add small pieces of chocolate, which they bring on camel-back from ancient Okoth. They bake small circles of this paste on an ungreased pan. They call this a "cookie," I’ve been told. Because you cook it, I suppose. Things you boil, perhaps they are called "boilies" in that language."
