Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Softened to room temperature
- 1 cup Ricotta Cheese Whole-milk recommended, drained if very watery
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 large Egg Room temperature
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour Spoon and leveled
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes with a hand mixer or 4 minutes by hand. Scrape the bowl as needed.
- Mix in the ricotta cheese, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined. The batter will be creamy and slightly loose.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix — stop when no streaks of flour remain. The dough should be soft and scoopable.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For uniform cookies, use a small ice cream scoop or spoon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even color.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze cookies for up to 3 months.
