Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
2/3 cup granulated sugar (133 g)
1/4 cup light brown sugar (50 g)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup ricotta cheese (250 g)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled (115 g)
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips (120 g)
Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Milk for glaze — 1–2 tablespoons (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk the ricotta, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle in the melted butter and whisk until glossy and fully incorporated.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. A few streaks of flour are okay—overmixing makes the squares tougher.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and the lemon zest, if using. Don’t overwork the batter; you want a thick, creamy consistency.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. A little batter around the edges bakes into a delicate crusty edge.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is just set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Cool completely in the pan on a rack. If you’d like, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a light glaze before slicing into squares.
Lift the bars from the pan using the parchment overhang, then cut into 9 equal squares. Serve room temperature for the creamiest bite.
Notes
Creamy ricotta centers with a lightly crisp edge in these easy Ricotta Chocolate Chip Pastry Squares. A cozy bake to share with a hungry friend, featuring lemon zest for brightness and a subtle vanilla butter sweetness.
