Plan 2 Eat Cookies? The cookie jar is a beloved symbol of Plan II and nearly every time anyone enters the Plan II office, they go straight for the back of the room. From chips ahoy to animal crackers to Oreos, there is a variety of cookie deliciousness in the seemingly bottomless jar. While there is supposed to be a one cookie a day limit, I have been known to have four or five in a several-hour study marathon.  Here is a step-by-step guide to getting yourself a cookie, followed by what a few students had to say about this magical vessel:
