One Pot Chocolate Cake Cookies

• 1 cup white whole wheat four
• 1/4 tablespoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 4 tablespoons butter (mine was salted)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons sugar, for sprinkling

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and prepare baking sheet with silicone liner, parchment, or lightly greased foil.
2. In a liquid measuring cup, combine the flour, salt, and baking soda. Over low heat, melt the butter. Mix in the sugar, maple syrup, milk, and cocoa powder until paste like. Stir in the ricotta cheese until combined.
3. Add in the flour mixture and mix until just combined. If it seems a bit dry just add a bit more milk. You want a kind of stiff dough. Spoon by the level tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheet. I put 10 on a sheet at a time spaced out. Flatten the cookie a bit and sprinkle a bit of sugar over each one.
4. Bake for about 10 minutes and let cool a little before transferring to a drying rack. Try not to eat all of them at once.
