How to Make Cannoli Cookies

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar in a bowl until fluffy and light.
  • Add the ricotta cheese, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  • Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  • Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture and fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  • Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Notes

Ensure the butter is softened for easy creaming. Do not overmix the dough after adding dry ingredients to maintain tenderness.
