Lemon Ricotta Cookies by @francescadzani

Yields22 ServingsPrep Time15 minsCook Time45 minsTotal Time1 hr

 1 stick (4oz.) unsalted butter, room temperature
 4 tbsp Colavita limonolio, divided
 ¾ cup granulated sugar
 1 large egg
 6 oz whole milk ricotta
 ¼ tsp Kosher salt
 2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
 ¾ tsp baking powder
 ⅛ tsp baking soda
 2 cups powdered sugar
 White sprinkles for top
1

Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 sheet trays with parchment. In a large bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (or large bowl using handheld beaters) on medium-high speed combine butter, 3 tbsp. limonolino, and sugar; cream until a light pale yellow color forms, 2 to 3 minutes

2

Add the egg and salt until fully incorporated and no yolk is left clumped together. Add ricotta and stir on low to combine.

3

Add flour and baking powder. Mix ingredients on medium-low. Scoop 1 heaping tablespoon of cookie dough and place 1 to 2 inches apart on the sheet tray. Bake, rotating halfway through, until lightly golden around the bottom edge, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely for about 20 minutes.

4

In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, 1 tbsp. water, and 1 tbsp. lemon oil until smooth, thick, and glossy. Dip each cooled cookie into the glaze, letting excess drip off. Sprinkle with white sprinkles.
