Caitlin Clark has a new off-season position in mind: official cookie taste-tester. The WNBA star publicly volunteered for the role after her favorite MLB team, the Chicago Cubs, announced a chocolate chip cookie contest. The team's response has fans buzzing.

Clark took to X to put it bluntly that she would love to be the one to taste the best cookies the contest has to offer. “Would love to be the taste tester,” she wrote. The Cubs almost immediately responded with a resounding “ABSOLUTELY.”

CC is highly interested in baking, especially cookies. It also makes for the perfect opportunity in the offseason, which consisted of the never-ending CBA negotiations and the FIBA World Cup Qualifiers.

Judging a cookie contest might be a relaxing change of pace. It is worth noting that Clark is a lifelong Cubs fan and has previously thrown out ceremonial first pitches for both the club and its Triple-A affiliate.

Moments like these make us reflect on why CC connects with us the way she does. It makes us feel like she is someone we actually know, someone who sees the same post you do and has the same immediate reaction.

With this thought in mind, let us take a look at what fans had to say about CC's "sweet" request.

Fans Rally to Make Caitlin Clark's Request Come True

CC's request grabbed the spotlight once again on social media, as fans were all in favour of seeing the Indiana Fever star have her cheat day with them.

"You’re one of the most qualified for that." One fan believes that CC is the best person for this opportunity, being a huge fan of cookies and sweets in general. “Nothing going to stand in the way of Caitlin and her chocolate chip cookies,” wrote another.

“Caitlin, the Cubs, and Chocolate Chip Cookies. My 3 favorite things all in one tweet. It’s a good day to be alive,” a third wrote, referring to how unusual yet ideal this collaboration is to them.

“We might need her to pitch for the cubs by the way it sounds,” MLB fans were pretty amused by the idea, especially with the team starting 4-6 and sitting dead last in the NL Central.

"@Cubs can yall make it happen" another fan expressed his desire to watch how CC's post unfolds in real time.
