I think the only mistake in your sentence is adding "ALL". I am not so sure of the use of "also" here, "pure" here means "well then".
"Well then, take the cookies that you want"
Maybe they are at the supermarket, and the kids want that special kind of cookies.
Your sentence would translate into
"Prendi anche tutti i biscotti che vuoi" (probably you already took all the candies that you wanted as well)

It seems that the imperative in connection with pure simply means go ahead and do whatever the verb indicates. We couldn't know that, but now we do :-)
I don't really understand why it wouldn't be accepted since from the early begining, lessons use pronouns.
But! indeed, in italian, pronouns are often not used in common statements (Try not using them in translations, you will see it's accepted). Rather they are used to emphasis the statement :
-
Vado a scuola = I go to school
-
Io vado a scuola = I DO go to school
Anyway, as we don't have any context with this statement , 'tu' should not be used, but you couldn't know :)
