This clue might be a double definition.

'chef' is the first definition.
(I know that cookie is a type of chef)

'online here making sweet treat for americans?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cookie that I've seen before include "Piece of text that a website puts into a computer" , "An American sweet biscuit" , "Piece of computer data" , "Small sweet biscuit or cake in the US" , "Something for coffee break" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
