Frosted Lemon-Ricotta Cookies image

I work for a Special Education school and our students run their own catering business. Every time they make this for a catering event, they get raves. The students chose the Lemon Ricotta Cookies to submit as their favorite cookie recipe. They say they are the "yummiest and chewiest cookies ever!"-Renee Phillips, Owosso, Michigan

These cookies were just okay. They were a bit dry and the frosting was too runny. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
