Cookie Cat


 * This article is about the object. For the song, see Cookie Cat (song) and for the character, see Cookie Cat (character).

"" is an ice cream sandwich product that first appears in "Gem Glow". The product was discontinued at the beginning of this episode because of the success of its competitor, Lion Lickers.

Appearance
The pink wrapper of the ice cream sandwich has an image of a grinning cat with half pink half white teeth and eyes. It is a half vanilla, half strawberry flavored ice cream sandwich, and 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. Steven sings and hums the theme several times throughout the episode. Steven originally believed that the ice cream sandwiches made his gem glow due to the fact that his gem begins to glow when he eats them, 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 is 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.
 * It is possible that the company which produced Cookie Cats plans to reinstate the product.
 * In the Cookie Cat song, Steven states that Cookie Cat is a "refugee from an interstellar world", and Garnet, Pearl, and Rose Quartz are refugees from an interstellar world (Gem Homeworld).
 * 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 time since she questioned the ingredients of Cookie Cat after Steven made the claim.
 * During Steven's episode of paranoia in "Future Vision", he imagines being visited by Cookie Cat piloting a UFO. Cookie Cat turns out to be evil and kills him with a laser blast.
 * Given its appearance, it is most likely similar to Neapolitan ice cream.
 * In the episode "Gem Glow", when Steven sings the "Cookie Cat Rap" behind him a cookie cat is shown with a more pale looking cookie casing, it's reasonable to assume the cookie part of the cookie cat is vanilla flavored.
 * The Cookie Cat story closely resembles the story of Bee and PuppyCat, another project created by the character designer, Natasha Allegri.
 * Several types of Cookie Cats appear in the game "Attack the Light". All types recover harmony for a single Gem in varying amounts.
 * The original restores 10 harmony, the mint flavor restores 50 harmony, and the 'Cookie Cat Bites' restore harmony over a few turns.
 * Mint Cookie Cats and Cookie Cat Bites have yet to appear in the show.
 * The 5th Comic of the Steven Universe Comic series by Boom Studios, features a cereal-brand known as "Cookie Kittens" on its cover.
