Hi Saathee Family! Even if you’re not a baker (or think you’re not!), this is the recipe that will change your mind. These Orange Rose Ricotta Cookies are soft, melt-in-your-mouth, and unbelievably easy to make. No fancy mixers, no complicated steps, just simple ingredients that come together in minutes. The ricotta keeps the cookies light and pillowy, while the orange zest and white chocolate create a flavor that feels bright, festive, and a little bit luxurious. It’s the perfect cookie to surprise your family with this holiday season, and trust me, everyone will think you spent hours in the kitchen (when really, you didn’t!).
Servings: 2 – 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
Icing
2 tbsp rose water
1 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp orange zest
1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Cookie
1 tsp rose water
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 1/2 tbsp orange zest (from two large oranges)
1 egg
1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1 cup white chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1: Whisk together baking powder, salt and flour and set aside.
Step 2: Using a mixer, blend sugar, butter, and orange zest.
Step 3: Add egg and ricotta. Then add vanilla extract and rose water. Mix well.
Step 4: Add in the flour mixture and mix until all is blended.
Step 5: Fold in the white chocolate chips, cover and chill in fridge for 1-2 hours.
Step 6: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Scoop out 2 inch balls of cookie dough (mixture will be a little sticky) and set the cookies at like 2 inches apart on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper.
Step 7: Bake in the oven for 14 mins. Set the cookies to cool. While they cool, mix all the icing ingredients together and drizzle the icing on the cookies. Let the glaze set at room temperature and enjoy!
