Ingredients

½ cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces ricotta cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ tablespoons milk

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and ricotta cheese. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually stir into the cheese mixture. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are golden. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a medium bowl, cream together the remaining butter and confectioners' sugar. Beat in vanilla and milk gradually until a spreadable consistency is reached. Frost cooled cookies.

These cookies were a little too spicy for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use a different type of chili pepper next time.

These cookies were a little dry for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would add a little more butter next time.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would cut back on the sugar next time.

These cookies were really good! I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The cookies were soft and chewy, and the frosting was creamy and delicious. I will definitely be making these again!
