Telegraphic speech is a form of communication often used by young children who are in the process of learning to talk. It involves simple, but clear, constructions that leave out unnecessary words, such as articles and auxiliary verbs. "Want cookie." is a prime example of this, as it conveys a complete thought ("I want a cookie.") with just the essential words.
