Step-by-Step Instructions for Cannoli Cookies
- Drain the ricotta cheese in a fine-mesh strainer for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then fold in the well-drained ricotta cheese.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing the scoops about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 12-14 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Drizzle with melted chocolate and dust with powdered sugar for added elegance.

Notes
Allowing the ricotta to drain properly is vital for the perfect cookie texture. Press extra chocolate chips and pistachios into the tops before baking for an attractive finish.
