The original bakery

Cookiecat

Made of: A chocolate chip cookie. Best enjoyed warm, with milk.

Cookiecat is a cartoon cat made out of a chocolate chip cookie: a tall golden oval studded with dark chocolate chips, with two little front paws and a tongue poking out happily. Best enjoyed warm, preferably with a glass of milk nearby.

Loyal and cuddly, Cookiecat is a chip-on-every-shoulder kind of cat, in the nicest possible way. Cookiecat will sit beside you through a whole film, share the last biscuit without being asked and remember exactly how you take your tea. Not the loudest cat in the bakery, but often the most loved.

Favourite spot: the windowsill beside the cookie jar, next to a glass of milk, watching the weather. Rain is good, snow is better, and the first snow of winter is the best day of the whole year.

Quirks: likes to be counted (one cookie, two cookies, Cookiecat), goes a little crumbly when tired, and insists that dunking is an art form.

For Christmas, Cookiecat turns spiced and festive, with a royal-icing edge, icing snowflakes, chocolate chips and an icing holly sprig. That is the look you can see here.
