Prepare Pizzelle Batter: Whisk together 2 large eggs and ½ cup granulated sugar until fluffy. Mix in ½ cup melted butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 tsp anise extract, then fold in 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 tsp baking powder until smooth.

Preheat Pizzelle Maker: Preheat your pizzelle maker according to guidelines, lightly grease it, and let it heat for about 5 minutes.

Cook Pizzelle: Drop 1 tbsp of batter onto each section of the pizzelle maker, close the lid, and cook for 30 to 60 seconds until golden. Remove and cool on a wire rack.

Make Ricotta Filling: In a bowl, combine 1 cup ricotta, ¼ cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, ½ tsp cinnamon, and ½ cup mini chocolate chips until smooth.

Assemble Cannoli: Fill cooled pizzelle with the ricotta mixture using a piping bag or spoon, careful not to overfill.

Garnish and Serve: Dust filled cannoli with powdered sugar and consider adding chopped pistachios or maraschino cherries for garnish.
