Ricotta Cookies

Hey everyone, we're going to keep this post short and sweet today. We are trying something new (out of necessity) with how we prepare a post so hopefully you are reading this and everything has worked out!

The computer and camera I use to do the blog are, unfortunately, starting to die and so I am trying a post using my phone and an even older laptop that someone works better! 

*Fingers Crossed*

I am saving to replace both items but it will take a while! 

Anyways, these ricotta cookies are delicious, soft, and only take a few minutes to whip up! I used mini candies in them but you could easily replace them with mini chocolate chips or even nuts, if you prefer.

Ricotta Cookies

Ingredients

2 cups flour

3/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

pinch salt

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

2 tsp vanilla

1 cup ricotta 

2 cups mini baking candies

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. 

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 

In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla, and ricotta until smooth. 

Stir together dry and wet ingredients, and mini baking candies, until well mixed. 

Scoop onto cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. 

Bake at 350 until bottoms are lightly browned and tops look dry, about 10 - 12 minutes.

I got 15 cookies with a large cookie scoop (about 3 Tbsp). If you use a smaller scoop your baking time will change. Start checking them at about 8 minutes. 

Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes and them move to a wire rack to cool completely. 

These are definitely a more "cake-like" cookie. They don't have that crunchy-chewy thing a lot of other chocolate chip cookies have. 

I love these for something a little different. I always end up with ricotta leftover from making pasta and this is the perfect way to use it up! 

Hopefully you are able to see this post clearly and the photos are okay. Feel free to let us know in the comments if you notice anything funky going on!
