Cooking Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Cups white sugar
• 1 Cup butter, softened
• 15 Ounces ricotta cheese
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 Teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 Cups all-purpose flour
• 2 Tablespoons baking powder
• 1 Teaspoon salt

Glaze

• 1.5 Cups confectioners sugar
• 3 Tablespoons milk

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. In a large bowl, beat together sugar and butter with an electric mixer on low speed until combined. Increase speed to high and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
4. Reduce speed to medium and beat in ricotta, eggs, and vanilla.
5. Reduce speed to low. Add flour, baking powder, and salt; beat until dough forms.
6. Drop level tablespoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
7. 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.
8. When cookies are cool, make the glaze: Stir together confectioners' sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
9. Use a small spoon or spatula to spread glaze on cookies; alternatively, dip each cookie into the bowl of glaze. Decorate as desired.
