Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture.
  5. Fold in the quick oats, chocolate chips, and chopped pistachios carefully.
  6. Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, space them at least two inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are slightly soft; cool on a wire rack.
  8. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth; fold in mini chocolate chips.
  9. Spread cannoli cream filling on one cookie, top with another, and optionally roll edges in chocolate chips or pistachios.
