Cannoli Cookies combine the best parts of the classic cannoli dessert with the ease of a cookie. The creamy ricotta cheese filling and mini chocolate chips give them a delightful flavor that’s rich yet perfectly balanced by the light, crisp texture.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, drained
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.
- Stir in the ricotta cheese until evenly combined, followed by the mini chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
