Ingredients
Cookies
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 teaspoons orange zest, from 2 large oranges
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 cup (246 g) whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (173 g) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Glaze
- 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange juice, freshly squeezed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add sugar, butter, and orange zest. Mix on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add egg. Mix well. Add ricotta and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
- Stop the mixer and add the flour mixture. Mix on low until just combined.
- Add chocolate chips and mix until just combined.
- Cover and chill dough in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until the dough is no longer sticky.
- When ready, preheat oven to 350°F. Line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- When the dough is sufficiently chilled, using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, drop the dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about an inch between each cookie.
- Bake for 13-14 minutes, or until almost set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar and fresh orange juice.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
