Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheet by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the ricotta, sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and egg until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined.
- Gently fold in the slivered almonds to ensure even distribution.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, shape the dough into pillow-like balls and place them on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until slightly puffed and golden around the edges.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes
Avoid overmixing and store baked pillows in an airtight container for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze, ensuring parchment paper is used to prevent sticking.
