I thought these cookies were actually pretty gross. I really like ricotta cheese but the texture was not to my liking. Also the flavors were just off. Next time I will just make regular a cannoli.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter, ricotta, sugar, and orange zest together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the vanilla and egg until it is well combined – about another minute.
- Slowly add the flour and beat until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and cannoli crumbs, if using. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.
- While the dough is chilling, make the filling. Mix together all the ingredients for the filling together until well combined. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Take out the dough and make balls of cookie dough that are about two tablespoons big.
- Bake for about 12 – 14 minutes, or until the edges are a light golden brown – the tops will not brown much. Remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- When completely cool, add the filling to half the cookies, then top with the remaining half. If desired, roll the edges of the sandwiches in mini chocolate chip cookies.
