Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes) with a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Add the egg to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until combined. Add ricotta cheese, lemon juice and zest and mix again until fully combined.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low.
- Chill dough for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350ºF and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop dough (about 1 ½ Tablespoon each) and roll into a ball. Place onto baking sheet and form into cookie shape, if needed. Don’t press cookie down too much, as cookies will spread while baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are slightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and cool cookies for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. These cookies are very delicate so will break if you transfer them while still hot.
- While cookies are cooling, make lemon glaze by adding powdered sugar and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Stir to combine. You may need to add in more lemon juice if the glaze is too thick (start with one teaspoon at a time). Glaze should be somewhat thick.
- Frost each cookie with the lemon glaze. Sprinkle additional lemon zest on top if you prefer.
- Let cookies sit for about 5 minutes until icing has set and serve.
