Originating in Italy, sweet ravioli, or ravioli dolci, is a unique and impressive dessert. These delectable treats are similar to traditional savory ravioli, but instead of being filled with meat or cheese, they are filled with sweet ingredients, such as fruit preserves or chocolate. In this recipe, buttery and flaky ravioli dough is filled with sweet cherry preserves and dusted with confectioners' sugar for a perfect finishing touch. This dessert is perfect for impressing your guests at dinner parties or holiday gatherings.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2.In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and white sugar until light and fluffy.
3.Add the beaten egg, vanilla extract, almond extract, and grated lemon zest to the butter mixture, and mix well.
4.In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring well to combine.
5.Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
6.Cut the dough into circles using a cookie cutter or drinking glass. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of the cherry preserves into the center of each circle.
7.Fold the dough circles in half and seal the edges with a fork.
8.Place the filled ravioli on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown.
9.Allow the ravioli to cool for a few minutes before dusting them with confectioners' sugar, and serve.
