Ricotta Cookies for Easter image

Delicately sweet and soft, these ricotta cookies are scrumptious. They have a cake-like texture and are not overly sweet. The glaze on top adds a bit of sweetness. We tinted the glaze with Easter pastel colors, but they can be tinted for any occasion. They're almost too pretty to eat!
