How To Make Cannoli Cookies

Let’s get started! Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and ricotta with a hand mixer until creamy. Make sure the butter has softened. Next add in the granulated sugar, egg and vanilla extract beating until combined.

Then mix in the sifted all-purpose flour, baking soda and sea salt. Stir in by hand the mini chocolate chips and the chopped pistachios.

Using a 1 inch cookie scoop, place scoop fulls on the parchment lined sheet pan about 1 inch apart making sure you don’t crowd the cookies in the pan. You will have to bake in batches, about 12 at a time.

Bake for 10 minutes and place cookies on wire rack to cool and repeat with the rest of the cookie dough. Store in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container.

Hope you enjoy!
