Canadians mostly use cookie and biscuit like Americans. OTOH, you will also hear biscuit used for cookie courtesy of the French language influence where a cookie can be a biscuit, a petit gāteau (sec) or (especially for chocolate chip and similar) cookie. Then you have sablé used for short-bread (after their sandy texture), etc.

Britain and America are two countries separated by a common language.

And contrary, to JSWolf's belief, American usage is not the correct usage but simply an alternative usage.
