Ginseng Cookie

"What ails you?"

Ginseng Cookie (Korean: 인삼맛쿠키, insammaskuki) is an Epic Cookie released alongside his Pet, $π$, in the second half of the Tales of The Wishing Lotus update. He uses his Ginseng Staff to gather Ginseng Jellies for points.

Story
''Somewhere far away, in mountains famous for their fresh air and clean waters, where Cookies seldom journey, was a place where a mountain ginseng grew. This Cookie, surrounded by a strong smell of dirt and ginseng after sitting still for long periods of time without moving a single root. Ginseng Cookie now travels the world healing other Cookies, and is so skilled that Cookies travel from far and wide for a chance to receive his aid! While he shows nothing but a subtle smile in front of his patients, this Cookie's eyes grow wide and sparkly whenever he sees a healthily round and growing young ginseng. The plant on top of the Cookie's head is rumored to be a [sic] herb with potent restorative effects, something that many Cookies want to get their hands on.''
