Lemon-Ricotta Cookies image

These soft, almost cake-like cookies with a hint of lemon flavor are perfect for dunking in your cup of coffee or tea. My husband loves these as they are not overly sweet.

Time 35m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 8

⅔ cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
⅔ cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 lemon, zested
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Beat ricotta, sugar, egg, vanilla, and lemon zest in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Gradually beat in flour and baking powder; mix until well combined.
  • Use a small 1 1/2-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop up dough and form into a ball with floured hands. Roll the ball of dough into a rope, approximately 7 inches long, on a very lightly floured surface. Shape the rope into a ribbon and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, arranging 9 cookies per baking sheet. Sprinkle cookies with powdered sugar.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 15 to 16 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks and cool completely.
