Chocolate Orange Ricotta Cookies – VIDEO RECIPE

how to cook Chocolate Orange Ricotta Cookies?

STEP 1

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grab a large bowl and add some softened butter. Use a mixer at medium speed to beat the butter until it becomes creamy and smooth.

TIPS: If your butter is too hard, a few seconds in the microwave can soften it up and make it easier to whip.

TIPS: Instead of using butter, you can opt for good quality margarine. It works just as well!

STEP 2

Next, mix in some ricotta with the sugar-butter mixture. Add flour and baking powder, and make sure to mix everything together thoroughly until a dough forms.

STEP 3

Now, place the dough on a lightly floured work surface. Roll it out until it’s about 5 mm thick.

TIPS: For rolling out dough, it’s incredibly convenient to use either two Teflon or two silicone baking sheets.

STEP 4

Sprinkle some sugar on one side of the dough and use a rolling pin to press it in.

STEP 5

Using a glass, cut out circles from the dough. Make sure they’re all the same size.

STEP 6

In the center of each circle, place some orange zest and chocolate chips.

TIPS: Don’t limit yourself to just chocolate and orange zest for the filling. Get creative and experiment with your favorite jam, raisins, or nuts. They can add a delightful twist to this recipe.

STEP 7

Fold each circle in half twice, creating little triangles.

STEP 8

To seal the filling securely, gently press down the center of each cookie with the edge of a glass.

STEP 9

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer the cookies onto it. Brush each cookie with some egg yolk to give them a nice golden color.

STEP 10

Pop the baking sheet with the cookies into the preheated oven at 180°C (350°F). Bake for about 30 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.
