Chocolate Almond Ricotta Cookies are soft, moist, cake-like cookies that are so easy to make. Topped with slivered almonds, these cookies are loved by all.
It’s holiday time & if you have been hanging around here the past couple weeks you might have noticed that I have been in cookie overdrive. I think this is the 4th of 5th new cookie recipe we have shared in just over a week. That’s okay- it is the season for cookies. Which is why I have been not only going through my old cookbook but also mom’s & grandma’s cookbooks too. We have been making our way through all the favorites & sharing the ones we make year after year. One of those recipes is this super yummy version of Chocolate Almond Ricotta Cookies. Check it out.

The family really loves it when I spend a bunch of time reworking recipes. Why not? They get to sample all the versions as I work through to get it just right. I mean, they certainly aren’t complaining as I ask them to make batch after batch disappear. They love these chocolate ricotta cookies & so do I. These make the best neighbor gifts too. Sometimes I’ll add a chocolate ganache on top with some sprinkles if I am making a plate of goodies to give away. But when it’s just our family enjoying a treat, topping these with chocolate chips & slivered almonds is just perfect.
Look at these cookies! So thick & chewy! All that chocolate goodness just makes me want to whip up another batch right now. These will definitely be the holiday favorite for all your friends & family this year.
I hope you love them as much as we do!
