Ingredients
For The Cookies
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, Softened
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Orange Zest
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Fine Salt
For The Cannoli Filling
- 3/4 cup Whole Milk Ricotta, Well Drained
- 4 oz Mascarpone Cheese, Softened
- 3/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/3 cup Mini Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy. Mix in the egg, vanilla, orange zest, and cinnamon.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the butter mixture. Mix just until a soft dough forms.
- Portion the dough into 20 small rounds and arrange them on the prepared baking sheets. Gently flatten each one and bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
- Beat the drained ricotta, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla until thick and smooth. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Place the cannoli filling on the flat sides of 10 cooled cookies. Top with the remaining cookies and gently press to form sandwiches.
- Refrigerate the sandwich cookies for 30 minutes before serving. Keep any remaining cookies refrigerated so the filling stays firm.
