Ricotta Cookies

Directions

Preheat oven to 350˚F.

Cream the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the eggs, Ricotta con Latte cheese and vanilla; mix until well blended together. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add the flour mixture to the ricotta mixture and mix well. Scoop dough into teaspoon-size balls. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet spaced apart.

Bake 8-10 minutes until lightly browned, then remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the glaze, whisk milk, powdered sugar and almond extract until smooth in a separate bowl (if you wish, add lemon or orange zest for a different flavor). Dip the tops of the cookies into the glaze and set upright back on wire rack. Immediately top with sprinkles and repeat for remaining cookies. Enjoy!
