Family Recipe: Renelle’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
My cousin Renelle was the closest thing to a sister I had growing up. I grew up with three brothers so it was always a special treat to spend time with Renelle! We use to spend at least a week every summer hanging out together since I lived in Kansas and she lived in Colorado. She is an amazing cook and her Chocolate Chip Cookies are a favorite in our family! Hope you enjoy them as much we have over the years!
Renelle’s Chocolate Chip Cookies:
- 2/3 cup Margarine
- 2/3 cup Butter Flavored Crisco
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon imitation Rum Extract
- 3 cups Flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 package Chocolate Chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix the margarine, crisco, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, rum and eggs together. Then add the dry ingredients (flour, salt, and baking soda) and mix. Fold in the chocolate chips. Drop by small spoonfuls onto the baking sheet. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes depending on the oven. Serves 3 to 4 dozen.
I use the same recipe when making M&M cookies as well!
Thanks Renelle for sharing your recipe and for being such a wonderful part of our lives. You are a true treasure, encouragement, and friend!!!
