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.
We call them Iced Gems in Ireland
fantastic, thank you! I’ve only ever seen them in Asia and as I might be heading to the Emerald Isle later this year, I appreciate the good news!
Same in England
Looks like an American breakfast cereal.
Not as much sugar, though
Iced Gems here in the UK, 5 packs for £1 in Tescos
Tesco’s got 'em!? Wow, thanks. They are gems.
Cien en boca or florecitas in latin america
Wow they’re everywhere! I had no idea, thanks!
That’s cookies, bruh
That is cookies, bruh!
That is cookies-bruh.
I’m from Northern Ireland and I’ve always known them as midget gems.
Ha, thanks!
Midget Gems in England too.Edit… Iced Gems in England! Sorry. Iced Gems!
You have these in England? I might be visiting next summer. I wanna try these! They look so cute 🥺 Can you recommend a brand?
I’ve only ever seen one brand ☺️
Thank you so much! I’ll be on a lookout ^^
Appreciate the corroboration.
Appreciate you reminding me of them. Now I’m gonna have to buy some.
Niiice, enjoy! I actually haven’t thought about them in a long time and had an “oh yeahh!” moment when I chanced upon them here!
I’m my area, we just call them snaps, according to flavor: ginger, lemon, etc.
ooh, snaps, thanks. I thought ginger snaps were those broader, flatter ginger cookies, do those have a different name in your area?
like these:
No, a snap is just a small cookie edible in a bite or two, at least in my area.
Okay, thanks. Apparently they’re “a hundred in the mouth”, cien en boca, in Latin America, or “florets”, which I think are taking the lead in interesting names so far.
Little flowers makes sense.
You’re right, a Very fitting name. The most suitable so far.
Iced gems in the UK
Great, thanks. I might finally be hitting up London later this year, glad to know iced gems are there. Are they commonly thought of as an English snack, or from somewhere else? Or are they just cookies and nobody knows?
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.
Wonky Chumblers in the UK. I don’t actually know that for a fact, just guessing.
Watcher, governor.
