For what it's worth, here is a piece of advice you may not like to hear. Don't breed Cookie.
The reason is that the market is flooded with normals, because lots of morph pairings produce them too. The prices for them are very low, and as a result, lots of people buy them for cheap without putting much thought or effort into properly caring for them in the long term - and obviously, a normal needs just as much care for just as long as a fancy morph does.
Even if Cookie does have some other gene (Enchi, whatever), it's very hard to tell just visually in his case, and unless you breed him with a female that has some really obvious genetics, you'll have a hard time telling what the babies are. That means you can't in good conscience sell them as anything other than normals, either.
Don't get me wrong - there is nothing wrong with normals. They are wonderful, beautiful, animals and babies are adorable regardless of their morph. But there are already more unvalued normals out there than there are good homes for them; in my area, you can search Craigslist pretty much any time at all and come up with a bunch of young ball pythons in bad setups that people are getting rid of after owning them for relatively short periods of time.
Basically, it's the same reason shelters and vets and so forth encourage you to have your dogs and cats fixed - there are already so many puppies and kittens out there that need homes, you shouldn't add to the problem just because it would be fun to have a litter and babies are cute.
