Preparation:
Prepare the dough: in a bowl, mix the cheese with the egg, oil, sweetener (or sugar), salt, and vanilla.
Add the dry ingredients: add the flour mixed with the baking powder and knead until you get a smooth and soft dough.
Shaping: take pieces of dough, form them into balls, slightly flatten them, and make a hole in the center (like donuts).
Baking: arrange the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 180°C (top and bottom heat) for about 18-20 minutes, until lightly golden.
Decoration: after cooling, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Tips:
If you prefer a lighter version, use erythritol instead of sugar and choose low-fat ricotta.
Cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in a sealed container for up to 2 days.
Adding the grated zest of a lemon or an orange will give a fresher aroma.
