To sign 'another', form an 'A' handshape with your dominant hand, keeping your thumb extended slightly upward. Start with your hand in front of your chest, palm facing your non-dominant side. In a quick, smooth motion, flip your hand over in a small arc outward so your palm faces up and your thumb points away from your body.
Sign 'another' right before signing 'cookie' to indicate you want one more of the same item. The quick flip of the wrist emphasizes the addition.

Yes! In ASL, the exact same sign is used for 'another', 'other', and 'else'. The context of your sentence and your facial expressions will make the specific English translation clear to the person you are signing with.
You should always use your dominant hand for one-handed signs like 'another'. If you are right-handed, use your right hand and flip it outward to the right; if you are left-handed, use your left hand and flip it outward to the left.
No, 'any' has its own distinct sign. While 'any' also uses an 'A' handshape, it involves a different movement where the hand is drawn downward and outward. Stick to the flipping motion specifically for 'another' or 'other'.
