Define a cookie-credit system and arrangement for who make the cookie and who gets the cookie, and take a rake over every transaction. Use that money to tell the people to make their own cookies and then raise the rake 99% of every transaction, until people forget that the cookie river exists, then redirect the entire production line to your nation.
Use your money from nothing to get total control over media, banks, education, hollywood and government to virtue signal anyone who is unhappy about it.
Repeat at top, but don't push too far and keep a keen ear to the ground to squash any cookie-supremacists.
