Instructions
Make the cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or non-stick baking mats.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then mix in the ricotta cheese and vanilla. 1 cup salted butter, 2 cups granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 15 ounces ricotta cheese, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda. 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Mix the dry ingredients into the ricotta mixture.
- Use a small ice cream scoop to drop dough onto the cookie sheet.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the frosting:
- Place the powdered sugar in a medium-size bowl. Whisk in the heavy cream a tablespoon at a time until you reach the consistency you'd like your icing to be. 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 4-5 tablespoons heavy cream
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Spoon the frosting on the top of the cookies. Immediately sprinkle with colored sprinkles.
- Allow the frosting to set before storing the cookies in a single layer in an airtight container.
