It actually comes from rewarding dogs with cookies or biscuits for doing tricks and for obeying. So, when you say "you get a cookie," to the person, it means you are praising them for doing something right or for having the right answer. However, if you say it in a sarcastic tone of voice, you are letting the other person know that they are annoying, either because they are trying to everything perfect or because they are "sucking up" too much.

Answer 6

Danny Kaye pre-dates the first time I ever heard it, but i am unfamilair with his work.

The first time I ever heard it was on "What's Happening." the TV series from Late 70's early 80's if I recall 'Rog' had to grow a back bone and scare off someone threatening Dee or Shirley, and he, Rerun, and Dwayne faced off with a thug and they delivered their ultimatum, and concluded with "Get it, Got it, Good!" as the guy took off. as soon as he left one of them fainted. (I only remember it bacause of that line buts its been 20 odd years so i may have some details wrong.)

Answer 7

I believe it was used by Bogart and Cagney in the 30 s picture Dead End.
