1 cup softened butter
2 cups sugar
1 carton full-fat ricotta cheese
2 eggs
3 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. grated lemon zest
4 cups flour

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix cookie ingredients to form a sticky dough. Drop by teaspoonfuls on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes or until the bottoms turn golden brown (the tops will stay white). Transfer to wire racks to cool. To make the glaze, stir milk a few drops at a time, along with the almond extract if desired, into the powdered sugar in a saucepan. Stir over low heat to create a glaze. Drizzle over cooled cookies and top with colored sprinkles. Makes 3 - 4 dozen cookies.
