Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients & Sugar

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons ricotta cheese
  • 6 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 lemon (zest)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (or almond extract)

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon sprinkles (optional )

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients and cream wet ingredients. In a small bowl, add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt and mix well. In a separate bowl, add the butter, ricotta cheese, and sugar, and cream together. Add in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  2. Combine and chill. Gently fold through the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined. Cover the mixing bowl and place it in the freezer for 20 minutes.
  3. Preheat and prepare baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Shape cookies. Remove the cookie dough from the freezer and shape out 12 small balls. Place them on the lined sheet.
  5. Bake and cool. Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges just become firm. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the sheet completely.
  6. Glaze and decorate. Make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar with lemon juice. Drop spoonfuls of the glaze on the cookies then add sprinkles.

Notes

  • Freezing the dough for 20 minutes helps in shaping and baking the cookies evenly.
  • Sprinkles are optional and can be omitted or substituted as desired for decoration.
