Cookies are small, sweet and perfect for sharing — just like puns. Calling someone "a smart cookie" or "a tough cookie" is already part of everyday English, and baking words like "dough," "chip," "crumb," "batch" and "sprinkle" turn easily into wordplay. "Cookie" also hides "cook" and rhymes with "rookie."
