How to Make Ricotta Cheese Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the ricotta cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cookies cool, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth and pourable. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Do not boil.
  10. Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the tops.
  11. Immediately sprinkle with sprinkles, if desired.
  12. Let the glaze set before serving and enjoy your delicious Ricotta Cheese Cookies!
