"wolf cookies"/"wolf tickets"
Johnny Hartner
memory serves me, "Looking to sell wolf tickets" means trying to run a
sam. "Looking for wolf cookies" is euphemous with "cruisin' for a
bruisin'." I've not seen these in any slang dictionary, though, to
confirm.

Alta Vista comes up with many hits on "wolf ticket", mostly because
there's apparently a group called Parlet that recorded a song by that
title. However, it's also a slang term that has made its way into the
realm of computer terminology. This page gives an explanation of both
the common slang and computer slang meanings:

The phrase also appears in a Stevie Wonder song, "Edge of Eternity",
which features lines like these:
Wolf tickets are all you say I'm selling
Dead air time is all you say you're hearing
Pie in the sky is all you say I can deliver
There weren't nearly as many hits for "wolf cookies", however. Here's
one of the more coherent uses of the phrase that I could find, from the
personal web page of someone who apparently served in the U.S. Marines:
I will say this however, I will fight the battle for
freedom always with the same valor and honor I would
in support of freedom for my friends in Viet-Nam. And
anybody that stands against me in that quest must stand by
for I will give them a heaping helpin of asswhoop! So hey
bro's pass the wolf cookies. hhehehehehe :) Semper Fidelis
Your guess is as good as mine what he means by that.

Could it be (or originally have been) a play on "dog biscuits"?

There is such a thing as Wolf cookies, and they are cookies.
