Cookies for breakfast?
That's what's on the menu Wednesday morning on the "Today" show -- and a local baker is part of the fun.
Whitney Hermes, a designer at the Minneapolis-based marketing agency Preston Kelly, is one of three finalists in a "Today" show contest geared towards finding the tastiest, healthiest cookies.
Hermes' gingerbread cookies are based on a recipe handed down from a kindergarten friend, Esther Hanson, who is from St. Paul.
The winner gets a cooking class at Sur La Table.
