"Btw-I should also confess that I changed the words to "who took the cookie from the cookie jar" as I didn't want to promote stealing..."

I thought the rhyme was about someone being accused of doing something wrong and denying it. So I wouldn't say that it 'promotes' stealing.
Maybe the word 'stole' is usually reserved for bigger things though.
