Cookies


I am currently employed as an intern in the research and development department of Ralcorp Bakery Products AKA Lofthouse cookies. BEST JOB EVER. I get paid to bake cookies all day. And by that I mean ALL DAY LONG. I bake them, eat them, make sure they taste good, and then its on to the next formula (we don't call them recipes because 'formula' sounds more scientific). Sometimes I get to experiment and come up with some crazy-flavored cookies. Our kitchen is a bakers paradise. Rows and rows and stacks and cupboards and shelves full of every kind of flavoring imaginable, food colors, sprinkles in a rainbow of colors, types of sugar i've never even heard of, every shape and size of chocolate chip. The possibilities are endless .Its basically my dream come true. The best part? I get PAID to do all of this. And I never go hungry.
