Ingredients
Scale
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
15 ounces ricotta cheese, drained
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup mini chocolate chips
¼ cup chopped pistachios (optional, for garnish)
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix until well combined.
Add the drained ricotta cheese and cinnamon to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers should still be slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust generously with powdered sugar.
