Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until creamy. Add ricotta cheese, vanilla extract, and lemon zest and mix until combined.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  • Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
