Ricotta Cookies

Cookie Dough

2 cups sugar
1 cup butter (softened)
1 15 oz. container Ricotta cheese
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 large eggs
4 cups flour
2 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. Kosher salt

Glaze

1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
1 1/2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add Ricotta, vanilla and eggs at medium speed. Add flour, baking powder and salt (which were sifted together), and beat until soft dough forms.

Drop dough by level tablespoon about 2 inches apart onto large cookie sheet sprayed with Pam. Bake about 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Cookies will be soft and cake-like.

Cool, glaze and enjoy!

Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
