Soft, moist, and bursting with citrus flavor, these Orange Chocolate Chip Ricotta Cookies combine creamy ricotta cheese, zesty orange, and sweet chocolate chips for a tender, melt-in-your-mouth treat perfect for holidays or everyday snacking.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cream together butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  • Add ricotta cheese, eggs, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  • Fold in mini chocolate chips.
  • Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and tops are set.
  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill dough for 20–30 minutes if your kitchen is warm to prevent cookies from spreading.Strain ricotta if it’s too wet to avoid overly soft dough.Use mini chocolate chips for even distribution, but regular chips can be used.Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.Cookies can be frozen baked or unbaked for up to 2 months.
