These cookies are from Lidia's site, we had a family dinner and these were 1 of the desserts. My daughter made Tarimasu which I will post later. As you can guess we had Italian. I made home made Cannelloni with meat and cheese filling. Two trays were with beef and two were made with Pork
I must say these cookies are really good, light and so tasty. I will make them again and again. Oh yes one other thing they go together very quickly. A big plus.

Ingredients:
2¼ cups all-purpose
flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch kosher salt
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature

8 ounces fresh ricotta, drained
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For the glaze
2 teaspoons lemon zest, plus** 1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch kosher salt
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 large eggs
8 ounces fresh ricotta, drained
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

**those two starred items I used less than a 1/4 cup of juice and 1 1/2 cups of sugar, it made more than enough

Directions:
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the sugar and butter in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium, and crack in the eggs one at a time, beating well between additions. Plop in the ricotta, vanilla, and lemon zest, and beat to combine. Add the flour mix, and beat on low until just combined, but do no over mix.
Drop the dough in heaping tablespoons onto the baking sheets. Place in oven, and bake, rotating pans halfway through the baking time, until the cookies are puffed, golden, and cooked all the way through, about 20 to 22 minutes. Remove from oven, and cool on wire racks.
When the cookies are completely cool, make the glaze. In a bowl, whisk together the confectioner’s sugar and lemon juice to make a smooth glaze. Adjust the consistency with a little water or more confectioners’ sugar to make the glaze thick enough to stick to the cookies when dipped. Hold each cookie with two fingers, then dip the top of the cookies in the glaze and let dry on racks until all are done. Let dry for 2 hours before storing.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and Remember to Find the Time to DO all the Things YOU love.
