A Los Angeles County man was baking cookies in the early hours of Saturday morning when he was greeted by an unexpected guest.

According to authorities, a man called police just after 2 a.m. to report that a bear was in the kitchen of his Claremont home. He saw the bear when he went to go check on some cookies that were in the oven.

The bear, police said, entered the home through a screen door. It later exited through another screen door and was lingering in some of the neighborhood’s backyards when officers arrived.

Neither the bear nor the resident were harmed during the encounter. It’s not clear if the man offered the bear any of his delicious cookies.
