The sentence 'The warm gooey, cookies Newman brought to the bake sale sold out in minutes.' should have a comma removed. The correct sentence is: 'The warm, gooey cookies Newman brought to the bake sale sold out in minutes.' The comma is unnecessary because there are only two adjectives describing the cookies (warm and gooey), and they are coordinate adjectives.

Coordinate adjectives are adjectives that independently modify the same noun and can be rearranged in any order or separated by the word 'and'. In this case, the adjectives 'warm' and 'gooey' are coordinate adjectives modifying the noun 'cookies', so they do not need to be separated by a comma.
