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.
