HOLIDAY GIFTING RICOTTA EGG BISCUITS
These cookies are very similar to a tea cake but a whole lot easier to make! The cake-like cookies are not overly sweet. The icing is fluffy and adds sweetness to the tasty cookie. A great addition to your holiday cookie tray. This recipe makes a lot of cookies - you could package them for fun gifts.

Steps:
- 1. Cream butter and sugar. Mix until creamy.
- 2. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- 3. Add ricotta cheese and extract. Mix well.
- 4. Add flour, baking soda, and baking powder gradually.
- 5. After well incorporated I find that if you refrigerate the dough about 30 minutes, covered so as not to dry out, the dough is then easier to handle. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls or roll into small balls onto an ungreased parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
- 6. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
- 7. Cool on a wire rack.
- 8. For the icing: Combine confectioners' sugar, 3-4 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla or another extract (you could also add food coloring if you want colored icing). I also add about a tablespoon of meringue powder to the icing although my mother never did. I find it helps dry the icing quicker.
- 9. Ice cookies and top with colored sprinkles.
