Words that rhyme with Cookie
From a sound-design view, cookie is a word the lyric earns weight from by context on the long /iห/, two-syllable, and it leaves the vowel hanging open. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. What the engine returns: perfect rhymes simply aren't available, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. Lyric-wise, the word reads as a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why cookie rhymes the way it does
Cookie is built around a tight high-vowel /iห/ (/iห/); it's two-syllable and doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 4 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 4, assonance 1,629, and consonance 599. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Cookie works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
