A short fic or an excerpt from a longer fic. The term is mainly used in the Harry Potter fandom.

Authors sometimes post "cookies" to keep readers interested while they are finishing a long work.

The term was probably popularized by FictionAlley Park, which had a forum called The Honeydukes' Cookie Jar "for cookies, snoglets, prologues, cakes or slices of pie from or for FictionAlley fics".[1] Many SCUSA ships had a corresponding "Cookie Jar" thread for ficlets.
