Ingredients:

For the cookies:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 (15 oz) container whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • For the glaze:
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. Add the ricotta cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and mix until well combined.
  6. Gradually add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are set and just barely golden on the edges.
  9. While the cookies are baking, make the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
  10. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack.
  11. Drizzle the glaze over the cookies while they are still warm.
  12. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
