Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup(s) sugar
1 cup(s) butter, melted and cooled
2 - eggs
1 cup(s) ricotta cheese
2 teaspoon(s) almond extract
4 cup(s) all purpose flour
2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1 teaspoon(s) salt
1 cup(s) white baking chips, melted
1 cup(s) semisweet chocolate chips, melted

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter until blended. Beat in eggs, then ricotta cheese and extract. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Refrigerate, covered, 2 hours or until firm enough to shape.
  • Preheat oven to 350°. Using 1 tablespoon dough for each cookie, divide in half and shape each into a 3-in. rope. (If dough is soft, work in batches and keep remaining dough chilled until ready to shape.) Twist two ropes around each other, pinching and tucking under ends. Place 2-in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 1 minute before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Drizzle melted baking chips over cookies; let stand until set. Store in airtight containers.
