Your mention of tongue prints in the butter reminded me of my dear Crash's cookie inspection work.

I had cooling racks for cookies that had come out of the oven and finally noticed that Crash felt the need to lick each cookie. Offering her one cookie to lick to her heart's content didn't work. Each cookie needed a single lick to meet her rigorous approval standard.
