Surface Forms

goodie singular
goodies plural

Morphology

goodie = good (transparent) = good + ie

Built from 'good' + '-ie' to mean a small or pleasant 'good' thing (treat), which is a straightforward diminutive/nominal formation.

Etymology

Goodie also comes from good meaning 'something good' with the same friendly ending -ie, and it became a name for a small, pleasant thing. That's why a goodie is a little treat or gift, like the sweets in a party bag.
