==Story==
<blockquote>''""No matter who it is, no Cookie deserves to go hungry!" Basil Pesto Cookie laughs heartily, both hands carrying freshly made, hot dishes. As head chef of the Tortilla guild, this Cookie is responsible for keeping every member well fed and happy. Combined with an expert culinarian's touch, the Cookie's basil-filled hands give every dish an even richer flavor. Ordinarily flavorless Jelly Carrots are turned into delicious Golden Sweet Cakes, and rubbery Sugar Beets are sliced and used to make warming, tangy soup! With one clean cut with a kitchen knife, this Cookie can turn any ingredient into a delicious dish, making every member of the guild look forward to every mealtime. After spending a long time on the arduous path of a lone mercenary, Basil Pesto Cookie is now enjoying a happy life as a core member of the Tortilla guild. Maybe that very happiness is the secret ingredient that makes his cooking so memorable!"''</blockquote>
