Step-by-Step Instructions for Cannoli Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar until well combined. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine ricotta cheese, large egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms, then let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough out to approximately ¼ inch thick, then cut into 2x3 inch rectangles.
- In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ricotta, mini chocolate chips, and chopped pistachios for the filling.
- Take a rectangle of dough, place a spoonful of filling in the center, fold over and pinch to seal.
- Place the shaped Cannoli Cookies on the baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool on a wire rack and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes
Ensure ricotta is well-drained to prevent soggy filling. Watch cookies in the oven for perfect browning. Seal edges tightly to keep filling from leaking.
