Description

These Soft Ricotta Cookies are a delightful treat, featuring a soft, cake-like texture filled with a rich molten pistachio-chocolate center. Perfect for a special dessert or an afternoon snack, these cookies bring together the creamy flavor of ricotta cheese with the crunch of pistachios and the indulgence of chocolate.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream together the ricotta cheese, butter, and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Fold in the chopped pistachios and chocolate chips.
  • Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • To achieve a molten center, ensure that the chocolate chips are evenly distributed but not fully melted during baking, creating pockets of gooey chocolate inside.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, you can sprinkle the cookies with a pinch of sea salt before baking.
  • If you prefer a slightly firmer texture, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
