Ingredients
Cookies
- 2 ½ Cups all-purpose flour
- ½ Teaspoon baking soda
- 1 Teaspoon baking powder
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- ½ Cup unsalted butter Softened
- 1 ¾ Cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs Room Temperature
- 15 Ounces whole milk ricotta cheese
- 3 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons lemon zest
Glaze
- 1 ½ Cups powdered sugar
- 3 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing each time until combined. Add the ricotta, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just barely combined. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 375°. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Scoop about 1 ½ tablespoons of the chilled dough onto the baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between the cookies.
- Bake for 15 minutes, until the cookies are cooked through but aren’t browning. Leave the cookies on the baking sheets for an additional 15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Glaze
- In a small bowl combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Gently spoon about ½ teaspoon of glaze on each cookie. Let the glaze harden before serving.
