I am eating a cookie. = (Εγώ) Τρώω ένα μπισκότο.

Why is it not "εγώ τρώω τα μπισκότο."? I get that the translation would be "I eat cookies" vs mine which is "I eat the cookies" but I was under the impression that nouns usually have their articles even when they wouldn't in English.

[G.Georgopoulos]

That's true for generic statements when the noun is the subject of the sentence. "(The) cookies are tasty" (=Τα μπισκότα είναι νόστιμα). If the noun functions as the object of the sentence, then the two languages usually follow the same pattern.

Wow, I never imagined that the Hungarian word "piskóta" (which is a special sort of cake rather than cookies) may have Greek relations. Now I'm really curious.

I typed ”Εγώ τρώο μπισκότα“, and it got accepted. Shouldn't my answer be wrong?

Yes, since there is a spelling mistake but with beginning lessons, the algorithm is rather lenient. I'm glad you recognized your error.
