Would you like to know the history of our chocolate crinkle cookie?
Well, let me indulge you. Way back yonder, I worked at a summer camp in Maine. These camp days were LONG. They were HOT. You were STARVING, even after the filling and delicious dinner in the rec hall. You just burned so many calories throughout the day as a counselor, running here, there, and everywhere. WELL, there was this thing late at night called “Cilk and Mookies”, or as a non-camp person may call it, milk and cookies.
Anyway, the kitchen staff always whipped up a mean cookie for Cilk and Mookies, and it was always the highlight of the evening. However, if the mookie of the night was chocolate crinkle? Watch out! There was a stampede of campers and counselors alike SPRINTING to the mookie table in the rec hall just to be first in line. Chocolate crinkle night was the best.
This summer camp is where Vince and I met, and we fell in love all summer long, one chocolate crinkle at a time. We knew this cookie had to be part of our life forever here in Blissfield and it reminds us of those sweet summer nights, each morning when we bake them. And that’s the story of the chocolate crinkle! 🩷💜
