Cookey \Cook"ey\, Cookie \Cook"ie\, n. See Cooky. [1913 Webster]Jargon File (4.4.4, 14 Aug 2003):
cookie n. A handle, transaction ID, or other token of agreement between cooperating programs. "I give him a packet, he gives me back a cookie."

Syn. magic cookie; see also fortune cookie. Now mainstream in the specific sense of web-browser cookies.
