Ricotta cookies are among my favorite also and are part of my wonderful childhood memories. Last Christmas I made chocolate/orange ricotta cookies (reminiscent of that segmented-orange, foil-wrapped candy that came in the blue box–sorry can’t remember the name.) Wonderful!
Ingredients
For the cookies
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of kosher salt
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 2 eggs
- 8 ounces fresh whole-milk ricotta (drain any excess liquid, if necessary)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 large orange (about 2 teaspoons)
For the glaze
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2½ to 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
