By Jackson Gardner [email protected] Baking cookies is what makes Centralia resident Ashlee Christman happy, and on Monday, her cookie-craft- ing skills might also earn her $10,000. Christman, 26, will be one of five competitors featured on season four, episode four of the Food Network’s Christmas Cookie Challenge that will air at 7 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 16. The TV show gives a grand prize of $10,000 to the baker who can knock the socks off of the three judges the most with their cookie-baking prowess. As the owner and opera- tor of Sweet Dough Cookie Co., an online cookie ven- dor which has a following on Instagram of nearly 20,000 people, Christman’s 9-to-5 job consists of taking orders from all around the country, bak- ing and designing the cookies, then shipping them to custom- ers. So needless to say, a cookie baking challenge was right in her sweet spot.
