i had to make these for a baking class in school once! i’m not entirely sure how traditional this recipe is but it’s a super moist cake-like cookie with a lemony flavor! the use of ricotta sounds crazy but it actually really works!

not specifically a christmas cookie but i make these around christmas. the chocolate chip to flour ratio is wild lol
1 cup unsalted butter - room temperature
3/4 cup + 1tbsp granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1/4 tsp lemon juice
1 & 1/4 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup of rolled oats
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 & 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2 & 2/3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 & 3/4 cups chopped nuts (pecans recommended)
mix together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. beat in eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice. blend in flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. fold in chocolate chips & chopped nuts (it will be absurdly difficult). refrigerate dough overnight. scoop & bake at 300F for ~20 minutes*
*they don’t spread if you refrigerate the dough for 24 hours & keep the remaining dough refrigerated as you’re baking them. also, i make the dough balls big (like a scoop of ice cream) & bake 8 at a time, so they can take several minutes longer than 20 minutes 😅 it’s a little time consuming but worth it imo

Historically I don’t bake, mostly because I lived with a friend for like 5 years and she is a baker. But now I don’t, it’s the holidays. Honestly it was so fun to dedicate a whole weekend to making cookies! I made lemon glazed sugar, chewy gingerbread and “world peace” chocolate cookies (which are the perfect treat) :)
Recipes:
Classic Sugar Cookies - Alison Roman (glaze is just lemon juice, zest, powdered sugar, and then I rolled in sprinkle sugar)
Chewy Gingerbread Cookies - Sohla El-Waylly
World Peace Cookies - Dorie Greenspan

Books Unbanned is an initiative started by the Brooklyn Public Library to make banned literature accessible to teens and young adults. several other libraries have joined the initiative as well!
any residents of the USA between the ages of 13-26, can get a free library card that allows you full access to the library’s entire online catalog!!!!!
Brooklyn Public Library offers their cards for 13-21 year olds and you have to email them directly(they don’t have a link): [email protected]
The Seattle & Boston public libraries offer their cards for 13-26 year olds!
The San Diego public library offers their card for 12-26 year olds and they use the CloudLibrary app instead of the Libby app to access their e-book catalog.
LA County also offers their unbanned card but for 13-18 year old California residents only.
And no worries if you’re aged out! You can join the Queer Liberation Library on the Libby app, The New York Library’s Free For All program through the SimplyE app, and The Banned Books Club through The Palace Project app!!!

i loveeee Love Deluxe in its entirety but this is the song that i’ve had on repeat recently! it’s such an enjoyable listening experience, it’s almost meditative and the combination of an all consuming love that’s so intense it’s almost devotional with the glitter of nostalgia… it could bring me to tears
