Almond-Ricotta Twists image

A very dear friend gave me this recipe so I make these to remind me of our time together. I like to drizzle melted white chocolate or chocolate chips on the baked cookies.-Paula Prechtl, Brockport, Pennsylvania

Time 1h

Yield about 6-1/2 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup sugar
1 cup butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 teaspoons almond extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup white baking chips, melted
1 cup 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.

These twists were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

These twists were a little too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my twists turned out really flat. They didn't look anything like the pictures.

These twists were a bit too dry for me. I think I'll try adding a little more milk next time.

I had a hard time finding ricotta cheese, so I used cottage cheese instead. It worked out just fine.
