Step-by-Step Instructions for Cannoli Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, blend together the ricotta cheese, large egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thick and cut into 2x3 inch rectangles. Combine remaining ricotta, mini chocolate chips, and chopped pistachios for filling.
- Spoon filling onto one half of each rectangle, fold over, and pinch edges to seal. Arrange on baking sheets and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown. Cool and dust with powdered sugar.

Notes
Ensure your ricotta is at room temperature for a smoother filling. Don't overmix the dough to maintain tenderness.
