RICOTTA COOKIES FOR EASTER
Delicately sweet and soft, these ricotta cookies are scrumptious. They have a cake-like texture and are not overly sweet. The glaze on top adds a bit of sweetness. We tinted the glaze with Easter pastel colors, but they can be tinted for any occasion. They're almost too pretty to eat!

- 4. Reduce speed to low and add flour, baking powder, and salt.
- 5. Beat until dough forms.
- 6. Drop dough by level tablespoons, about 2 inches apart; onto the prepared baking sheets.
- 7. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 10-15 (ovens vary) minutes or until cookies are very lightly golden (cookies will be soft).
- 8. With a spatula, remove cookies to a wire rack to cool.
- 9. When cookies are cool, prepare the icing. In a small bowl, stir confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth.
- 10. Dip cooled cookies in the glaze.
ITALIAN RICOTTA COOKIES
Jessica Hulett's tender, cakey ricotta cookies taste like the white part of the best black and white cookie you've ever had. The recipe comes from Ms. Hulett's grandmother Dorie, who used to flavor the cookies with anise, if she used flavoring at all. Adding lemon zest gives the cookies a fragrant brightness. We approve.

Steps:
- Using an electric mixer, cream 2 sticks butter with sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add ricotta, lemon zest and 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla and beat well. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Scrape the sides of the bowl down with a rubber spatula, then beat in flour, baking soda and salt. Cover dough and chill for at least 2 hours and up to a week.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and line several cookie sheets with parchment paper or nonstick liners. Shape tablespoons of dough into balls. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheets and bake until pale golden on the bottom, about 15 minutes. Let cool on wire racks.
- Melt remaining tablespoon butter. Whisk confectioners' sugar to break up any large lumps, then whisk in melted butter, lemon juice, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla and enough milk to make a spreadable icing. Spread icing on cooled cookies, then let set for at least 20 minutes before serving.
