      Is "dotykać" always followed by the genitive/ dopełniacz?

          Jest bardziej naturalne - zgadzam się.

              "dotykać" in its literal, physical sense takes Genitive. For most neuter nouns, Nominative plural and Genitive singular is identical. So yes, "cookies" = "ciasteczka", but in Nominative. And as you need Genitive here, "ciasteczka" has to be Genitive singular. One cookie only.

                So it would be ciasteczni in plural?

                  The Nominative plural is "ciasteczka", and if you wanted to use "my cookies" in this sentence, that would be "Ty dotykasz moich ciasteczek".

                    Followed by some sort of lawsuit?

                      I don't believe there's any kind of... sexual allusion in the Polish sentence. Nothing I'm aware of. To me it's just a weird sentence about a literal cookie.
