Pumpkin cookies are one of my favorites fall cookies – Betty Crocker Cooky Book
The spelling, “cooky” began to fade in the 50s, but the fade-out was a slow process, people generally starting using “cookie,” but older writers grew up with “cooky,” and some of them were still using that spelling in the 70s.
The 1961 edition of Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary lists “cookie” as the primary spelling, “cooky” as a variant.
