Ricotta Chocolate Chip Cookies

"We all are well aware by now that cottage cheese has gone viral, but that’s for a good reason. The rich and creamy element it can bring to a recipe (especially a sweet one) is honestly shocking, in the best way possible. Ricotta cheese is no different. It contributes to moisture, tenderness, and a creamy texture of a recipe due to its high moisture content and fat content. It also adds a subtle richness and a slightly tangy flavor profile, enhancing the overall taste. These creamy cookies take advantage of all the wonderful components the cheese has to offer. Plus, the soft cookies are studded with plenty of chocolate chips and given a chocolate orange dipped base to take them to the next level and maybe the highlight of your cookie exchange."
