Lemon Ricotta Cookies With Lemon Glaze

I personally haven't had the chance to try this one out yet but it sure sounds good!

ingredients:

2 1/2 c flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 stick unsalted butter, softened

2 c sugar

2 eggs

1 (15) oz container whole milk ricotta cheese

3 tbsp lemon juice

1 lemon, zested

directions:

preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. 

cookies: 

In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt set aside. 

In a large bowl combine the butter and the sugar. Using an electric mixer beat the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until incorporated. Add the ricotta cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat to combine. Stir in the dry ingredients.

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Spoon the dough (about 2 tablespoons for each cookie) onto the baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 20 minutes.

Glaze:
Combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon onto each cookie and use the back of the spoon to gently spread. Let the glaze harden for about two hours.
