A lot of sandwiches can be made with either toasted or untoasted bread. I guess it mostly depends on what the person making it feels like.

Ooh... That also looks good!
I never thought it would be this fun posting links to different snack foods.
We have something similar called Pinwheels, although it only has one cookie layer on the bottom, and I think they're kind of expensive:

If you don't mind me asking, what other kinds of snacks are there in Japan?

In this case, I'd use the word excuse.

Sorry, I'll try and re-explain. It's just difficult since the US and UK seem to have their own ambiguous definitions of cookies and biscuits...
In the US...
http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/5...linton2bg6.jpg - Can be called a biscuit or a roll (or dinner/bread roll).
http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thum...ip-cookies.jpg - Are typically just called cookies.
http://scally.typepad.com/photos/pho...ve_biscuit.jpg - Are usually reffered to as cookies as well.
In the UK... (I'm mostly guessing here, since I've never been to England.)
The first image above would probably just be called a dinner/bread roll. The second would probably be called a cookie, but might be reffered to as a biscuit as well sometimes. The third would just be called a biscuit.
Basically, cookies and (British) biscuits are the same. Biscuits are just harder than cookies, probably so they can be dunked in a drink without dissolving so much.
I'm sorry if I caused more confusion. It's difficult trying to explain something like this... I don't think I fully understand the differences myself.
