Cookie Monster is a mainstay of “Sesame Street” and one of the most popular puppets of all time. The blue creature with the wild eyes sometimes teaches kids the alphabet, but more often than not, he really just tries to get cookies.
That was exactly what happened when he stopped by Martha Stewart’s show. He behaved himself while the treats were just flour and eggs, but once they took that cookie form, he couldn’t control the inner monster.
In the clip, he tries everything to get Stewart to give him some of her precious cookies, but to no avail. She almost breaks when the monster offers her a date with Bert (of Bert and Ernie fame), but that isn’t enough. Finally, he wins the battle and devours the cookies.

While “Sesame Street” has tried in recent years to turn Cookie Monster into a vegetable lover, he’ll never be able to outrun his cookie addiction.
