He devours it and begins reveling in his new power. The Cookie Fairy hears a cookie crumbling in Cleveland and leaves. Cookie screams "Me got Cookie Touch!" over and over as he goes to find more things to touch. | |

But, when Cookie touches his sandwich, it turns into a cookie. He realizes he can never eat anything but cookies again, but he looks on the bright side, as he still made his friends happy. However, Telly and Big Bird rush over to him, feeling sad and angry, and demand they get their stuff back, as they liked them before they were cookies. Cookie sees the error of his ways and accidentally turns Chris into a cookie! Cookie wishes he hadn't made his wish. | |
