RICOTTA CHEESE COOKIES
These soft Italian-style cookies are a hit with everyone. The ricotta keeps them moist, and the recipe yields a large batch, which is great since the baked cookies freeze so well. Do not freeze the unbaked dough. You can decorate them with chopped candied cherries, colored sugar or candy sprinkles.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all the ingredients together until combined. (The dough will be moist.) Drop by a teaspoon onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes until firm, turning the tray around halfway. (The cookies will be golden on the bottom, but will remain white on top.)
- 2. Mix in enough lemon juice with the powdered sugar to make a glaze that can be brushed on. Lightly coat the tops of each cookie with the glaze and sprinkle with the colored sprinkles. Let dry fully before storing.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ricotta cheese. This will ensure that your cookies are rich and flavorful. Look for ricotta cheese that is fresh and has a smooth, creamy texture.
- Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you remove them from the oven.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.
Conclusion:
Ricotta cheese cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual snack to a formal party. With their light and airy texture and sweet, creamy flavor, ricotta cheese cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give ricotta cheese cookies a try. You won't be disappointed.
