In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream the unsalted butter until smooth. Add 2 eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
In a small bowl, prepare the filling by mixing ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and semi-sweet chocolate chips until well incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut the dough into 3-inch squares using a knife or pastry cutter.
Place a small spoonful (around 1 teaspoon) of the ricotta filling in the center of each square. Brush the edges with a beaten egg (reserved from the ingredients) to help seal the ravioli.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative and secure seal.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the ravioli cookies in small batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until crispy and slightly puffed. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Once cool, dust the fried cookies with the remaining powdered sugar. Optionally, drizzle with melted chocolate and decorate with sprinkles for an added touch.
Serve the Chocolate Cookarolis Fried Ravioli Cookies warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the crispy, chocolatey perfection!
