Instructions
1
First, make cookie dough. Add room temperature butter and sugar to a stand mixer or mixing bowl with hand mixer. Mix on high until combined.
2
Drain ricotta or pat excess moisture dry with paper towels.
3
Then, add in egg, ricotta, lemon juice and lemon zest to the bowl. Mix until combined.
4
Add in flour, baking powder and sea salt. Stir until dough is formed. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
5
After dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
6
Use an ice cream scoop or cookie scoop to scoop balls of dough onto lined pan.
7
Bake for 11 to 12 minutes or until cookies look set but soft in the middle. The edges should be lightly golden. Remove from oven.
8
Once cookies are completely cooled, make glaze. Combine glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Mix until creamy.
9
Dip the top of each cookie in the glaze. Continue for all cookies. Finally, serve!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Strain Your Ricotta 🧈Drain ricotta through cheesecloth for 30 minutes before mixing to remove excess moisture, ensuring thicker dough and cookies that won't spread too thin during baking.
- Zest Before Juicing 🍋Always zest your lemon before cutting it in half to juice—once cut, the fruit becomes difficult to zest, and you'll capture maximum aromatic oils for intense lemon flavor.
- Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️Let butter, eggs, and ricotta sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before mixing to create a smooth, cohesive batter that bakes evenly and produces the signature airy, cake-like texture.
- Chill Before Baking ❄️Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour before scooping to prevent excessive spreading and help the cookies maintain their thick, pillowy shape with slightly crispy edges.
- Glaze While Warm ✨Apply the lemon glaze to cookies within 2-3 minutes of removing them from the oven while still warm, allowing it to set partially and create a beautiful, slightly sticky finish that enhances the fresh lemon flavor.
