Instructions
- Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together and set aside.
- Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs. Beat in the ricotta. Add in the extracts.
- Mix in half the dry ingredients until it comes together. Add in the lemon juice and zest. Add the remaining dry ingredients and beat until it comes together.
- Chill dough for at least 1 hour. Then, preheat the oven to 350F
- Scoop dough out using a 1 1/2 tbsp scoop directly onto a lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake at 350F for 14-15 minutes, until bottoms are slightly golden. Top of cookie will still be quite pale.
- Allow to cool completely. Whisk together the glaze ingredients. Dip the tops of the cookie in the glaze and let excess drip off. Enjoy!
Notes
- You must chill the dough- it'll be pretty wet and sticky, almost like thick cake batter prior to chilling
- Cookies will spread on baking sheet so leave space between each
- Cool completely before dipping into glaze
