Grandma Was Rolling Cookie Dough. Someone Appointed Himself Inspector.

AI imagescottish foldbakingkitchen

Flour has drifted across nearly every surface of the counter, which is how you know real baking is happening. Ruth leans in over a sheet of parchment, pressing balls of cookie dough into neat rows with practiced fingers. Her white hair is pinned up in a loose bun and her green vest has a faint dusting of white on it. Sitting tall right beside the tray, close enough to count every cookie, is Pebble. The grey Scottish Fold has his front paws planted on the counter edge and his amber eyes fixed on Ruth, as if he has been appointed quality control. A bowl of flour, an egg carton, and a crock of wooden spoons complete the scene.

Raw cookie dough is one of those treats best kept far from pets. Uncooked dough made with yeast can expand in the stomach, and many cookie recipes include ingredients that are harmful to cats and dogs, such as chocolate, raisins, or macadamia nuts. Even plain dough is high in fat and sugar, which cats don't need. If your cat likes to supervise baking, consider keeping them on a nearby chair rather than the counter, and wipe up spills of flour and dough before they get licked. If you think your pet has eaten something worrying, it is best to call your vet promptly.

Pebble will not be getting a cookie, but he doesn't seem to be holding a grudge. Watching Ruth work and soaking up the warm kitchen is reward enough, at least until the oven timer rings.
