It looks like the prices of eggs are higher than the price of gold. What world are we living on???? I am actually thinking about getting chickens and maybe a cow!
So, this time I decided to create a recipe that does not require eggs. Well, to be more precise an eggless cookie recipe. Yes, I am still in a cookie mode. Cookies are my best friends right now and they comfort me whenever my mood drops :)I hope that my new recipe for eggless ricotta cannoli cookies will comfort you as well.
How to make eggless ricotta cannoli cookies ?
This is another uncomplicated cookie recipe. Perfect for beginners who want to start their baking adventure.
You basically need to cream butter and sugar. Next mix ricotta with marsala wine and vanilla Then add these two together. Then add dry ingredients and all the extras you need. Pistachios, chocolate chips and orange peel. Mix and bake for 12 min. Your cookies are ready.
Please notice that your cookies will not spread much.
You may ask, what is marsala wine? marsala wine is a fortified wine made in Sicily in Italy. It is dry or sweet and contains about 15%-20% alcohol by volume. It is similar to Spanish Sherry. A good substitute for marsala wine is a grape juice.
What do eggless ricotta cannoli cookies taste like?
These cookies are egg-less, soft, tangy, sweet, nutty – so indulgent. Dark chocolate chips, toasted pistachios and homemade orange peel. I encourage you to make your own orange peel as the store bought version can be nasty and ruin your cookies. This is what I learnt in the past and since then I keep a jar of homemade orange peel in my freezer just in case.
The texture of egg-less ricotta cannoli cookies is soft and a little dense due to ricotta cheese and a little cakey with lots of add ins! I will always say this, add as many extras – chocolate chips, pistachios and orange peel – as you wish. My measurements suit my taste and if you are not a big fun of orange peel, just add a little bit. I would not omit orange peel from this recipe as for me cannoli without an orange peel is not a cannoli!
