    Shaping ravioli-like homemade cookies

  • Roll chilled dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thick. Cut out circles using a 2½-inch round cookie cutter. You need to make an even number of circles.

  • Deposit enough ricotta filling into the center of half of your cut-out circles. Brush some egg white around the edge of these circles to help seal them.

  • Place another circle of dough on top. Press edges firmly to seal. Make decorative marks along the sealed edge with a fork.

  • carefully lift these ricotta-filled sweet ravioli with a metal spatula, and place them on prepared cookie sheets.

  • Brush the top with egg white and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before baking. Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
