THE STORY BEHIND CHARLES' WONDERFUL COOKIES
"My grandmother, Ms. Alice Brown, made cookies on many occasions. When I was a young boy growing up in Linden, Alabama, she began teaching me how to make her wonderful cookies. She showed me the special ingredients that made her cookies taste so unique, unlike any I have ever had. She made sure I understood that ingredients were only as good as how they were carefully processed. She taught me to carefully mix each ingredient separetely. Each step had to be given "TLC." For example, the butter is softened to the exact texture before mixing with the sugars, the eggs are beaten separately before mixing with the butter and the sugars, then the vanilla flavoring is carefully mixed with these soft ingredients.
Today, I use the same "TLC" my grandmother used when making her wonderful cookies. I hope you enjoy the unique taste of these special cookies." - Charles
Chocolate Chip
The most scrumptious chocolate chip cookie you will ever taste. We use four different types of chocolate plus Charles’ secret special ingredients. The results are pure chocolate chip heaven.(CC-001)
Also available with pecans and walnuts. (CCN-002)
Throughout the months of November and December we offer these wonderful cookies with a twist as a Limited Edition: Mint Chocolate Chip (LEMCC), Orange Chocolate Chip (LEOCC), and Raspberry Chocolate Chip (LERCC).
Chocolate Chip with Caramel
Also known as our "Turtle" cookie. We take our scrumptious chocolate chip recipe with pecans and walnuts combined with a ribbon of golden caramel throughout. It’s a "turtle" lovers dream! (CCC-003)
Oatmeal Raisin
Good old fashioned oatmeal combined with rich brown sugar, cinnamon, spices and plump sweet raisins. The secret to this soft melt-in-your-mouth cookie is we only use raisins soaked in their own syrup so it permeates throughout the cookie while it bakes golden brown. (OR-004)
Peanut Butter
Classic peanut butter cookies with a twist. We use the best peanut butter blended into our cookie mix, then we add peanut butter chips for an explosion of taste. Peanut butter lover's can't eat just one of these wonderful cookies. (PB-005) Also available: Peanut Butter with Milk Chocolate Chips. (PBCC-006)
Nut Allergy Disclaimer:
Our cookies and brownies are produced in a kitchen where nuts are present. We recommend that people who have nut allergies do not eat our products.
The Rochelle Cookie
We take our Oatmeal Raisin cookie, omit the raisins and add walnuts, apricots and cranberries to make a delightful original cookie that is affectionately named "The Rochelle Cookie". (RC-007)
Chocolate Times Four
Warning: This cookie is not for the faint of heart! We use four different kinds of chocolate, melt them slowly, blending them together before introducing the other ingredients. We add a few pecans and walnuts to make this cookie an incredible taste sensation. (CTF-008)
Also available, we offer this cookie as a "special edition" by soaking it in your choice of one of four spirits: Baileys Irish Crème, Godiva Liqueur, Jack Daniels, or Grand Marnier for an additional cost of $ .50 per cookie. (CTF-SE)
White Chocolate Macadamia
For the chocolate lover who prefers a more sweet mild flavor, this is the cookie for you! Made with the same ingredients as our chocolate chip cookie, we added velvety sweet white chocolate with more crunchy macadamia nuts. (WCM-009)
White Chocolate Caribbean
The sweet mild flavor of our White Chocolate Macadamia cookie combined with apricots, cranberries, and a touch of coconut flavoring for a cookie experience unlike any other. It's a delightful surprise with every bite! (WCC-010)
Triple Chocolate Brownies
Using the finest cocoa, chocolate and gourmet ingredients we have perfected the absolute best "stress reliever". Our brownies are a soft, gooey treat for anytime of the day. A must for chocolate lovers! (TCB-012-8) for 8, (TCB-012-18) for 18.
Snickerdoodle
A traditional favorite usually known as a simple cookie, but don’t let this one fool you. Ours is a soft buttery sugar cookie with a sweet rich cinnamon and sugar coating. A favorite with children and adults and sure to be a favorite with you too! (SD-011)
Party Tray
A covered catering tray, cocktail napkins, and 56 assorted cookies of your choice. Party trays are wonderful for sales meetings, group gatherings, birthday parties, retirement parties, etc. (PTC-013) Local orders only.
Bongo Java Coffee

Why "Self-Determination"?
Persons with intellectual disabilities live lives under the care and direction of others, limited in choices, and too often unable to experience independence and self-reliance. The Rochelle Center believes each person, regardless of limitation, has the right to make personal choices, experience life and work in our community to the extent they are able, with the support of others.
Being “Disabled” does not mean "Unable".
The term "SELF -DETERMINATION" embodies our goal to make choices available to the individual with disabilities as to how he or she wishes to contribute to society. This includes meaningful work and the production of quality products and services, playing social roles (volunteer, friend, neighbor) and through purposeful community integration. Everyone shares the desire to have value and worth and to contribute through meaningful work, living full and meaningful lives. Persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities have a great deal to offer as individuals, workers, neighbors, and friends. We hope you enjoy the product and services generated by the "SELF-DETERMINATION INDUSTRIES" of the Rochelle Center.
