"Cookie Cat" is an ice cream sandwich product that first appears in "Gem Glow". It was discontinued at the beginning of the episode because of the success of its competitor, Lion Lickers, although it makes continuous appearances throughout the series.

Appearance
The pink wrapper has an image of a grinning cat. The same goes for its eyes. It is a half vanilla, half strawberry flavored ice cream sandwich, and it is shaped in the image of the product's mascot, Cookie Cat. Cookie Cats are different from ordinary ice cream sandwiches in that they are shaped like cat heads, and feature two flavors of ice cream — one half of the ice cream is strawberry, while the other half is vanilla.

"Gem Glow"
Cookie Cats are Steven's favorite ice cream sandwich, but Lion Lickers, a similar ice cream product, drives them off the shelves at the Big Donut. The Crystal Gems had visited multiple stores and "stole a bunch", according to Amethyst, but Pearl adds that she returned and payed for them all. Garnet claimed it was all her idea. They stashed many Cookie Cats in their freezer for Steven, but in order to save the Crystal Gems, Steven thought that if he ate them all, he might be able to summon his shield.

The Cookie Cat company plays a theme song in their commercials that Steven sings and hums several times throughout the episode. Steven originally believed that the ice cream sandwiches made his gem glow due to the fact that it began to glow and summon his shield when he ate one at the beginning of the episode, but this turns out to be a mere coincidence.

"Steven and the Stevens"
After warping back home, Steven looks at his reddish-pink Cookie Cat shaped alarm clock after it alerts him that it is time for Beach-a-Palooza.

"Space Race"
A new Cookie Cat song can be heard in the soundtrack "After These Messages" when Greg and Steven talk.

"House Guest"
A black Cookie Cat alarm clock can be seen on Steven's nightstand.

"Future Vision"
In one of Steven's imaginary death scenes, he imagines Cookie Cat returning, now evil, in a spaceship and zapping him to death.

"Say Uncle"
The treat makes its appearance while Uncle Grandpa explains to Steven how he was there during "Gem Glow" when he attempted to sing the Cookie Cat Jingle to activate his Gem. He breaks the fourth wall here, appearing on the small Cartoon Network banner below. Uncle Grandpa was not actually present in the episode.

Trivia

 * Despite the product's discontinuation in "Gem Glow", Cookie Cat has been seen in multiple episodes since that episode.
 * In the episode "Space Race", the Cookie Cat theme plays on TV after Steven asks Greg to help him build a space ship.
 * This implies a spin-off or resurrection of the product.
 * In the Cookie Cat song, Steven states that Cookie Cat is a "refugee from an interstellar war", while Garnet, Pearl, and Rose Quartz are also refugees from an interstellar war (The Rebellion).
 * While Steven ate the snack in "Gem Glow", his gemstone glowed for the first time in the series resulting in Steven believing that the treat was the reason why his powers were activated.
 * Although this later turned out to be false, Pearl believed this at the time, since she questioned the ingredients of Cookie Cat after Steven made the claim.
 * There is Cookie Cat mercy seeing as Steven has an alarm clock of cookie cat. We don't know if they still make these after the snack got discontinued.
