cookieholic

Craves baked treats

Someone with an excessive fondness for cookies, modeled on *alcoholic*.

The word is playful and self-deprecating rather than clinical: I'm a total cookieholic—I can't walk past a bakery without buying something.

Like other -holic formations (chocoholic, workaholic), it treats enthusiasm as mock addiction.
