Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
2. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and ricotta cheese until smooth and well combined. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
4. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a log, about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.

8. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!
