Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 15 ounce ricotta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat sugar and butter with a hand mixer until blended. Beat on high for about 5 minutes or until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in ricotta, vanilla extract, and eggs on medium speed until combined.
  • Reduce speed to low and add flour, baking powder and salt. Continue to mix until the dough holds together. Don’t overmix. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Drop by 2 Tablespoon scoop onto prepared cookie sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
  • Bake 15 minutes or until cookies are slightly golden brown around the bottom edges. Cookies will remain soft. Carefully transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack.

Notes

  • Flour- Be sure to spoon and level flour, following my easy tips on how to measure flour. This helps prevent tough cookies.
  • IMPORTANT- These cookies have a simple ingredient list. However, in order to enhance the flavor, but sure to use high quality butter, vanilla, and chocolate.
  • STORAGE: Use parchment or wax paper between the layers of cookies to prevent them from sticking together. Keep cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • FREEZE: After cooling, freeze cookies in airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight before serving.
