Fun fact: When cookies were introduced to Germany, they were sold as "cakes". But most Germans back then didn't know enough english to pronounce that correctly and read it like the similarly written german word for poop. That's why the vendors changed the spelling to "Keks".

Since you asked: Butterkeks is pronounced like "booter cakes" with the 'oo' like in "good".
