To me Teddy KGB's cookies were something his character was dependent on and when Damon spots his tell and his cookies are no longer on the table then he is rattled and his head is not in the game so even with the tell gone the player is not as focused as he was before when he had his cookies.

Damon has a line that says something like how he would normally let Teddy go one eating those cookies without him pointing it out but that he didn't have time for that.....meaning the purpose of pointing out the cookie tell was to rattle Teddy KGB and weaken his game.
