It started innocently enough. A few scattered reports of cookie thefts in the early months of 2023. But as the year wore on, the disappearances grew more frequent, more brazen. It became clear: a cookie crisis of epic proportions was unfolding.

At the heart of the crisis were the notorious Cookie Cartel, a shadowy organization with a stranglehold on the global cookie supply chain. Their leader, the enigmatic Cookie Kingpin, remained at large, but their minions were everywhere, snatching cookies from unsuspecting civilians.

A small but determined group of rebels, led by the fearless Cookie Crusader, vowed to take on the Cookie Cartel and reclaim the cookie-filled streets. Armed with nothing but their wits and an arsenal of cookie recipes, they fought back against the forces of cookie despair.
