Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 1h5m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup ricotta cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon almond extract
½ teaspoon lemon zest
1 large egg, room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until blended. Increase speed to high and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in ricotta cheese, lemon juice, almond extract, lemon zest, and egg on medium speed until well combined. Reduce speed to low. Add flour, baking powder, and salt; beat slowly until a dough forms.
  • Drop dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet using a cookie scoop.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are very lightly golden but still soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven, transfer to a wire rack, and cool completely before icing, about 30 minutes.
  • Stir powdered sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl to make a smooth icing. Drizzle icing onto the cookies. Set cookies aside to allow icing to dry completely.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. The zest and juice of fresh lemons will give your cookies a bright, citrusy flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and still soft in the center. Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely before glazing them. This will help the glaze set properly.

Conclusion:

These lemon ricotta cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of lemon and ricotta cheese gives the cookies a light and fluffy texture with a bright, citrusy flavor. The lemon glaze adds a sweet and tangy finish that takes these cookies to the next level. Whether you're serving them at a party or enjoying them as a snack, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
