I was really craving a yummy cannoli and this recipe did not disappoint. I was a bit nervous about making the cookies after reading the reviews, but my cookies turned out perfectly the first try! I made the recipe as written, except I refrigerated the dough 1.5 hours in the fridge and half an hour in the freezer. The cookies baked up brownie like and didn't spead out like other reviewers. I did allow the ricotta to drain in cheesecloth to dry out the cannoli mixture and the consistentcy was perfect for the filling. Like other reviewers, I think the cookie is better the next day after sitting in the fridge overnight.
I made the cookies for a group and everyone loved them! This cookie has become my new favorite! Thanks for a great recipe!!

I don't know what refrigeration does -- but all of the complaints I had immediately after assembling them disappeared with 24 hours in the refrigerator. I could not have tasted a more decadently, rich, delicious chocolate cookie than when I had one today, a day a later. These are great cookies!

I have to say, the first time I made these I almost threw everything away. The cookies came out too big and thin, and were breaking when I was trying to take them off the cookie tray. I decided to go ahead and finish them and then sent them off to work with my husband the next day. Everyone absolutely loved them!

I made them again a few days ago, and I think they turned out even better the second time around. This time, I made the log of dough slightly less than 2". I also let the dough sit overnight in the refrigerator. The dough only chilled for about two hours the first time I made them. I also sliced them a little thinner this time around, so that it would hopefully minimize the spreading. I also let the cookies sit on the cookie tray for about 10 minutes before taking them off to the cooling rack, this time around.

I'm not sure which adjustment helped with this batch, but they turned out GREAT! And as someone else mentioned, the filling definitely sets up in the cookie after they've been in the refrigerator for a day.

Did anyone drain the ricotta first so that it'd be less runny? I'd like to try this but the reviews are a bit daunting.

I have made these cookies twice now. Once using the cookie recipe provided and once using Michele from AZ's Recipe. I prefer Michele's cookies as they did not come out flat but were unbelievablly sweet and delicious with a wonderful Brownie like consistency. I still struggle with the filling, each time it comes out too loose and does not lend it self well to be being Oreo'd. I did notice left over filling sets up much better after 24 hours in the fridge. I will keep trying to get this right, because the mistakes have been so wonderful. First time, I ended up serving it like Chips and Dip the second time I got Sandwiches. third time has to be a charm.

After reading all the reviews, a common complaint was that the cookies became large and flat. I made these today and they came out beautiful, and delicious. The cookies were puffy and cake like. This is the cookie recipe that I used. I got this from one of the whoopie pie recipes. They are moist and almost brownie like. Enjoy!
1 1/4C sugar
1 stick of butter (room temp
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 C flour
1/2 C cocoa powder
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. baking powder
6 oz semi sweet chocolate (melted

Beat sugar and butter until fluffy. Then beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla and melted chocolate. Mix together in a separate bowl flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder, stir into butter mixture. Chill 30 mins, then roll into walnut sized balls. Bake 350, for 8-10mins. makes a total of 48 cookies or 24 sandwich cookies.

The chocolate cookies came out very flat and thin. Not sure why. My wife thought the cookies were going to be thicker, and more cake like... She was very disappointed, and ended up making a layered desert out of this batch. Does anyone know why the cookies are thin, flat and crispy?

I made these for Thanksgiving and they were gone faster than the turkey! My cookies were not flat. Perhaps others are cutting them too thin? The cookies were moist and chewy and the filling was delicious! I will never eat a regular cannoli again!

My cookies came out great - not too flat at all! They taste sooooo good. I had a problem with the filling though. No one likes the nuts, so I tried to make them with chocolate chips instead. The filling came out soupy. I tried to add more sugar and then more ricotta to see if I could thicken it up with no luck. Overall, the cookies were the best part.
