Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Stir in ricotta cheese and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and orange zest. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined.
  5. Mix in chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.

  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring to wire racks.
