Morphology

cookie + sheet

The meaning 'a flat tray for baking cookies' is directly derivable from combining 'cookie' (the item being baked) and 'sheet' (a flat layer or metal sheet), so a learner who knows both words can infer the object and its function. Noun–noun compounding for tools or containers is common in English and many other languages, making this construction immediately transparent in context.

Etymology

The name cookie sheet comes from the simple image of a cookie lying on a flat sheet of metal in the oven. So, it means 'a flat tray for baking cookies'.
