Steps

    In a bowl, combine the ricotta with the egg and the oil, until you obtain a smooth cream.

    Add the vanilla.

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, add the chocolate chips and mix until you have a soft, slightly sticky dough.

  • Once you have the dough, separate pieces and shape into balls.

    Place them on a baking sheet lined with compostable parchment paper or a silicone mat (useful and reusable).

    Flatten the dough on the baking sheet with your hands to form round, slightly imperfect cookies.

    Add a few puffed spelt flakes on top if you have them and like them.

  • Preheat the oven to 356°F (180°C), conventional (no fan) mode, and bake for 12–14 minutes.

    Once golden, they’re ready to be removed from the oven and enjoyed.

    Let cool and enjoy your indulgent, cozy and light break.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
