Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Ricotta Cookies.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and get your cookie sheets ready by greasing them or lining them with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together ricotta cheese, white sugar, softened butter, eggs, and a splash of vanilla extract.
Step 3
Grab your electric mixer and whip this mixture until it transforms into a smooth, creamy delight.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Step 5
Gradually incorporate this dry blend into your ricotta mixture, adding flour as needed until you achieve a dough that’s easy to handle.
Step 6
Shape the dough into walnut-sized balls and arrange them on your prepared cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one to allow for spreading.
Step 7
Slide the sheets into your preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 8
While the cookies are baking, whip up a simple glaze by mixing confectioners' sugar, milk, and almond extract in a bowl until it’s silky smooth.
Step 9
Once the cookies are out of the oven and have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the warm treats and finish with a sprinkle of colorful candy sprinkles for that extra pop of fun.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful aroma and the sweet satisfaction of your homemade cookies!.
