Ingredients

36 servings

•

2 cups white sugar
•

1 cup butter, softened
•

15 ounces ricotta cheese
•

2 eggs
•

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

•

4 cups all-purpose flour
•

2 tablespoons baking powder
•

1 teaspoon salt
•

1.5 cups confectioners' sugar
•

3 tablespoons milk

Instructions

Gather all ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Beat together sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until combined. Increase speed to high and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Reduce speed to medium and beat in ricotta, eggs, and vanilla.
Reduce speed to low. Add flour, baking powder, and salt; beat until dough forms.
Drop level tablespoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are very lightly golden and soft, about 15 minutes. Use a spatula to remove cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
When cookies are cool, make glaze: Stir together confectioners' sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Use a small spoon or spatula to spread glaze on cookies; alternatively, dip each cookie into the bowl of glaze. Decorate as desired.
