  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully mixed in.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and mini chocolate chips until well blended.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, and then roll each in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated.
  8. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and slightly flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cooled, spread a teaspoon of the ricotta filling on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich with another cookie.
