are those raw in the picture, or do they come out the oven looking like that?
is a tea biscuit the same as a cookie? is it the same as a biscuit? growing up we only called dog treats biscuits and my dog aint drink no tea

They're cooked. I'm assuming the lighting makes them look more white than yellow/ brown.
These are similar to Newfoundland Raisin Tea Buns / Biscuits. I'm not sure if calling them biscuits is a regional thing. They're not as sweet as a cookie and has a tea biscuit / bun texture.
Tea biscuits can be savoury. Most people are more familiar with cheese tea biscuits, which goes really well with tomato soup.

I was thinking the same as the original comment. I read the ingredients and dont see any brown sugar, which is probably why it's a lighter color.

If I said, “they look like cookies”…. Would you throw one at me?

Not at all. They are sweet but not as sweet as a cookie. Tea buns!

So… is that a no?
(Worth a shot. They look tasty.)
