Ingredients

  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts from a box
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup turbinado sugar sugar in the raw
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese do not substitute low-fat
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Unroll pie crusts and cut circles with a 2 1/2" round cutter. With re-rolling you should be able to get about 18-20 from each crust. Place on cookie sheets that have been lined with parchment paper or silpat baking mats.
  • Beat egg with a fork and use your finger to lightly brush some egg onto each round. Sprinkle each with some turbinado sugar. Bake for about 10 minutes, until they're golden brown. Cool completely.
  • Make the filling: beat the heavy whipping cream until it becomes whipped cream. Set aside.
  • Whisk ricotta and powdered sugar. Whisk in vanilla and then fold in whipped cream and chocolate chips. Place filling in a large ziploc bag and cut off one tip. Pipe filling onto half of the pie crusts, then top with another pie crust to form a sandwich cookie.
  • Store in refrigerator, eat within 3 days.
