From: Lisa Huff @ snappygourmet.com/cannoli-cookies-recipe/?
Holy Cannoli Cookies are easy Italian Christmas cookies inspired by Italian cannoli's and a fun twist on the Italian pastry! These one bowl cookies are full of flavor with ricotta cheese, chocolate chips, and pistachios and have a soft almost cake like texture! These will make a great additional to your Christmas cookie baskets and gifts this year!
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 11 min
Total time: 26 min
Makes: 36 cooking
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups all purpose flour
1 10 ounce bag mini chocolate chips divided
1 cup chopped pistachios
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Mix in the eggs then ricotta cheese until well combined then mix in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and fresh orange zest.
Next, mix in the baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Mix in the flour.
Stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips and the pistachios.
Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least one hour.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease.
Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, drop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of cookie dough for each cookie leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake cookies at 375 degrees F for about 8-11 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
Cool slightly then move to wire racks to cool completely.
Microwave remaining chocolate chips on high in a small microwave safe bowl in 20 second intervals, stirring after each interval until melted and smooth.
Spoon melted chocolate into a small resealable bag, clip one corner slightly, then drizzle melted chocolate over cookies.
Let cool for chocolate to set.
Notes
SNAPPY TIPS: Some brands of chocolate chips melt better than others for drizzling. A semisweet (or dark) chocolate bar will also work well instead of chips for melting and drizzling. (These cookies do not need to be refrigerated after being baked. Store in an airtight bag or container like other cookies.)
SNAPPY SUBSTITUTIONS: Use your favorite baking chips and nuts instead of the mini chocolate chips and pistachios if you'd like.
MAKING SUBSTITUTIONS OR CHANGES TO THE RECIPE AND/OR INGREDIENTS CAN CHANGE THE RESULTS OF THE COOKIE.
