Rich History
The Rodelle story began in 1936 when a food chemist from France left the city lights of Paris to settle in Denver, Colorado. Shortly thereafter, upon realizing that the United States lacked a high-quality pure vanilla extract supplier, two business partners decided to mine their knowledge and connections to produce their own premium vanilla stateside. That decision led to the founding of Rodelle Laboratories, which soon revolutionized the world of gourmet flavorings and baking ingredients.

Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are easily one of our favorite year-round recipes! Perfect to whip up with pantry staples.
How to make chocolate chip cookies:
- Cream the sugars and shortening in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until light, approximately 5 minutes at medium speed.
- Add eggs, one at a time. Add Rodelle Baker’s Extract.
- In a small bowl, stir dry ingredients together and add to the creamed mixture.
- Stir in the chips (and nuts if adding).
- At this point, if you’re ready to devour some chocolate chip cookie heaven, you can bake the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a 350°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Use a tablespoon to measure out the dough dollops.
- The best option is to roll the dough into a log on a piece of parchment paper. The diameter will be the approximate diameter of the cookies. Wrap the log in the paper tightly and twist the ends closed. Chill until completely firm.
- When ready to bake, cut the log into 1/2-inch slices.
- Arrange on a parchment-lined sheet pan, and bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove to a wire rack to cool.
