Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Wet ingredients: Mix ricotta, sugar, vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of orange zest, and 2 tablespoons of orange juice in a large bowl using a spoon. Add the eggs and mix well, scraping the bowl’s walls a couple of times in between.
- Dry ingredients: Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Sieve the flour mixture over the egg mixture and fold it gently until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips as well.
- Shape 20 cookies with lightly oiled hands. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring there is enough space between them as they will spread a little.
- Bake them for about 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Let them cool on the trays for about 20 minutes before glazing them.
Glaze:
- Mix the icing sugar with enough orange juice in a small bowl to form a thick glaze.
- Cover the cookies with the glaze and immediately add some chocolate sprinkles or shavings on top. Let the glaze set before serving.

Notes
- Measurements: I recommend using a digital kitchen scale to measure the ingredients because the amount of flour in a cup can vary depending on how each person measures it.
- Orange: Preferably, an unwaxed orange, as you will need some of its zest. You can use lemon instead of orange.
- The glaze is optional. You can leave it and just sprinkle the cookies with icing sugar. Or you can drizzle the ricotta cookies with melted chocolate of any kind or with ganache.
