How nice of you to make cookies for all of Simba's friends! Make sure Simba gets a few too though.

You said that you gave Simba a taste of the dough. I'm not sure how similar the dough you made was with bread dough, but I thought I'd pass this along.

No Bread Dough for Animals
from Nancy Mills - [email protected]

If you are tempted to give your companion animal a treat while you are baking, remember that eating unbaked bread dough is dangerous for animals. According to Jill A. Richardson, D.V.M., of the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC), when bread dough is ingested, an animal's body heat causes alcohol to be produced during the process and the dough expands, causing abdominal pain, bloat, vomiting, disorientation and depression. Even small amounts of dough can cause illness. Remember not to leave rising dough unattended in the presence of an animal who may try to eat it.
