Step-by-Step Instructions for Cannoli Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix ricotta, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and mini chocolate chips for the filling.
- Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls, coat in granulated sugar and cinnamon, then flatten slightly on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown, then cool on the sheet for 5 minutes.
- Spread ricotta filling on one cookie and sandwich it with another.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
