Ingredients

36 servings

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon almond extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until blended. Increase speed to high and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in ricotta cheese, lemon juice, almond extract, lemon zest, and egg on medium speed until well combined. Reduce speed to low. Add flour, baking powder, and salt; beat slowly until a dough forms.
  • Drop dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet using a cookie scoop.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are very lightly golden but still soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven, transfer to a wire rack, and cool completely before icing, about 30 minutes.
  • Stir powdered sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl to make a smooth icing. Drizzle icing onto the cookies. Set cookies aside to allow lemon glaze to dry completely.
