Actually, those do sound like cookies. Pastries, then?
Although not many pastries I've had have chocolate in them, it's usually fruit, or cream cheese. All are very sweet, though. Biscuits are not sweet. In America, biscuits are more like bread, usually eaten warm from the oven with butter.

How uncivilised! don't you have French pastries and Danish pastries?

Yeah, but... (surprise, surprise) we call those French pastries and Danish pastries.
We save biscuits for breakfast, where they belong. Probably more related to scones, although we don't flavor or sweeten our biscuits. Our biscuits are more savory than sweet. I have had herb-flavored biscuits, but they are exceedingly rare, most are plain.
