Although we often debate about how best we should call these (cookies? biscuits? bikkies?), the bottom line is that they are amazing, especially when enjoyed with tea or milk.

Because everyone loves biscuits (and to make Friday that much better), The Huffington Post Australia rounded up 10 of the best cookie recipes.

Some are wickedly decadent (we're talking cookie ice cream sandwiches) while others are on the healthy side, but no less delicious. Some are full of butter and cream, while others are vegan and even no-bake, so everyone can enjoy a cookie or five.

1. Cookie s'mores

In case you don't know (where have you been?), s'mores are an American campfire dessert consisting of melted marshmallow and chocolate sandwiched between two Graham cookies. Basically, it's the best thing you've ever eaten. This classic with a twist uses chocolate chip cookies as a base for the toasted marshmallows and milk chocolate. Heaven.

The bigger the cookie s'more the better.

2. Nut, maple and vanilla cookies

These cookies are deliciously moist and chewy with a boost of nutrition thanks to the addition of seeds and ground nuts. To sweeten things up, you can sub the sunflower seeds for dried fruit (or maybe even dark chocolate chips if you're feeling cheeky). Whichever way you roll, these cookies make the perfect sweet snack.

3. Chocolate dipped almond cookies

What's better than sweet almond cookies? Almond cookies with a white and dark chocolate filling and dipped in more chocolate, obviously. These cookies almost look too pretty to eat, but who are we kidding, we'd eat 10 in one second.

4. White chocolate and macadamia cookies

Ohhh boy. If you're a fancy cookie eater (no shame about that), these white chocolate and macadamia cookies are for you. Made with coconut flour, cashew butter, maple syrup, white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts, these cookies are gluten free, paleo, vegan and high protein -- so, they're practically healthy and we can eat 20 of them without feeling bad.

Time to dip in hot tea, oh yes.

5. Choc chip malt cookies

Choc chip cookies lovers, rejoice and open your minds to a little bit of malt in your life. The addition of barley malt really brings out the chocolate chips and adds another layer of flavour. These vegan cookies are light, crumbly and pillowy, and are the perfect companion to your afternoon tea or glass of milk.

6. Double chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches

If you thought it couldn't get more decadent than cookie s'mores, you thought wrong. Delectable on their own, these rich, double chocolate chip cookies are filled with soft scoops of ice cream of your choice.

Soft, sweet, chewy and creamy. This combines the best of two desserts.
