What does COOKY mean in Scrabble?
noun
North Americanhistorical
A small, flat, sweetened cake; an older spelling of cookie, chiefly used in North America.
The spelling reflects the word's roots in Dutch koekje, brought to America by Dutch settlers, whose diminutive ending -je turned into -y as English speakers absorbed the borrowing. On cattle drives and in logging camps the same word drifted into naming the camp's cook, since that person supplied both bread and treats for the crew, a job title still remembered in the phrase cooky wagon. Twentieth-century publishing standardized the alternate form, so cooky now mostly survives in nineteenth-century letters, ranch memoirs and facsimile reprints of old recipes.
