kookie

Pleasantly off-kilter

Kookie is a variant spelling of kooky, meaning eccentric, strange, or amusingly offbeat: her kookie sense of humor, a kookie character in a sitcom.

The spelling with -ie suggests a lighter, more playful tone than kooky, though both convey affectionate oddness rather than genuine weirdness.
