Moist and airy; it’s quick, easy, delicious, and pretty. You can’t go wrong!

Ingredients

  • For the cookies:
  • 1 cup butter, softened

  • 2 cups granulated sugar

  • 1 (15 ounce) container of ricotta cheese

  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

  • For the glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • milk

  • sprinkles

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix all of the cookie ingredients well until the dough sticks together into a big ball. It will be sticky. Drop by teaspoonfulls on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes or until the bottoms turn golden brown. Let cool for 1 minute and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. In a small saucepan slowly stir milk into the powdered sugar until it creates a glaze thin enough to be spread over the cookies. Stir over low heat then spread over cooled cookies. Quickly top with sprinkles.

★★★★★
This is a great recipe, and a family favorite. I make these every year for Christmas, also for a bridal shower! My family loves them, as well as everyone who tries them. I reduce the vanilla in the dough by 1 teaspoon and add 1 teaspoon of almond extract. I add a 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract to the glaze. They are so delicious.

I lost my recipe for Ricotta cookies andwas hesitant to try this one because of the lack of egg. It is better than my original and with the cost of eggs, it’s a keeper!

Family and friends love this recipe. I thought there was an error in the recipe because there weren't any eggs but I tried 1 egg once and preferred the cookie without. Very moist and very tasty.
