Total Time: 130 Minutes,Servings: 35 Servings

Ingredients :

• 2 cups (284g) all-purpose flour (scoop and level to measure)
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp orange zest (from 2 large navel oranges)
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup (241g) whole milk ricotta cheese (I recommend Galbani)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup (165g) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Glaze
• 1 1/4 cups (154g) powdered sugar
• 2 1/2 Tbsp fresh orange juice
• 1 tsp orange zest (about 1/2 navel orange)

Instructions :

• In a medium mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and salt for 20 seconds, set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream together sugar, butter and 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp orange zest until combined (scrape bowl as needed throughout mixing process).
• Mix in egg then blend in ricotta and vanilla extract. Add in flour mixture and mix until nearly combined then mix in chocolate chips.
• Cover bowl and chill 1 - 2 hours until it's not quite so sticky and a little easier to work with (if needed you can freeze it for a bit).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees during last 20 minutes of dough chilling. (Note, don't use dark cookie sheets for this recipe or bottoms will burn).
• Scoop dough out using a medium cookie scoop or two spoons (so you have just a heaping 1 Tbsp) and drop onto parchment paper or silicone liner lined baking sheet spacing cookies 2-inches apart.
• Leave remaining dough chilled. Bake cookies in preheated oven 13 - 14 minutes until almost set.
• Let cool on pan several minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough (placing dough on a cool baking sheet).
• For the glaze, in a small mixing bowl whisk together powdered sugar, orange juice and orange zest. Spoon over cooled cookies.
• Let glaze set at room temperature. Store cookies in an airtight container.
