Pillowy soft and perfectly lemony, Lemon Ricotta Cookies are sure to be a hit! Topped with a sweet-tart lemon glaze, they are a great addition to holiday dessert platters.

Ingredients:

all-purpose flour

salt

baking powder

baking soda

unsalted butter

sugar

eggs

ricotta cheese

lemon

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.

Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Then, add eggs, one at a time and beat until incorporated after each egg.

Beat in remaining wet ingredients, followed by dry ingredients, until just combined. You'll have a soft dough.

Scoop cookie dough and place on sheet pan. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Bake straight from the fridge for 12 mins.

Mix all ingredients for glaze together in a small bowl and spread on top of cooled cookies with a small offset spatula.

Sprinkle with nonpareils while icing is still wet. Leave cookies on rack until icing is set - 1 to 2 hours.
