Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 stick of butter at room temperature
2 c of sugar
1 (15 oz) container of full fat ricotta cheese
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs, lightly beaten
dash of salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp finely chopped lemon zest
4 c all-purpose flour
GLAZE
1 c powdered sugar
lemon juice
colored sprinkles

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all the ingredients together until combined. (The dough will be moist.) Drop by a teaspoon onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes until firm, turning the tray around halfway. (The cookies will be golden on the bottom, but will remain white on top.)
  • 2. Mix in enough lemon juice with the powdered sugar to make a glaze that can be brushed on. Lightly coat the tops of each cookie with the glaze and sprinkle with the colored sprinkles. Let dry fully before storing.
