Cookie Monster excitedly announces what he considers the best day of his life, as he won a shopping cart full of cookies in a poetry contest. He gathers his friends, including Big Bird, Elmo, Zoe, Gordon, and Maria, to show them his prize and recite his winning poem, "Cookie, cookie, cookie, schnookie." As Cookie Monster starts eating, he sneezes each cookie away. Fearing he has caught the Cookie Flu, his friends suggest seeking medical help. Cookie Monster calls a monster doctor, who confirms the diagnosis and prescribes a seemingly impossible cure: not thinking about cookies.
To help Cookie Monster, his friends recite the alphabet with him, but he can't help but think of cookies. Elmo suggests focusing on fish, like his goldfish Dorothy. They all try this strategy, but Cookie Monster still envisions cookie-related fish and continues sneezing. His friends promise to stay with him until he's cured, which touches Cookie Monster. As he thinks about his friends and not cookies, he stops sneezing, having overcome the Cookie Flu. Cookie Monster happily enjoys his cookies with his friends by his side.
