Here's what you need:
For the cookies:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
1 32 ounce container Ricotta cheese
2 large eggs
3 tsp. vanilla
large pinch salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. lemon zest
4 cups flour

For the Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
4 Tbsp. milk
2 drops almond extract

 


Here's how to make it:

Preheat oven to 350. Mix cookie ingredients to form a sticky dough. Drop by teaspoonfuls on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes or until the bottoms turn golden brown. Be careful, because the tops will stay white. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

To make the glaze, stir milk a few drops at a time, along with the almond extract, into the powdered sugar in a saucepan. Stir over low heat to create a glaze. Drizzle over cooled cookies and top with colored sprinkles if desired.

Makes 3 to 4 dozen cookies.
