Ricotta Cheese Sugar Cookies (NEW!)

Cookie Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
1 - 15 ounce carton full-fat ricotta cheese
2 eggs
3 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. lemon zest, grated
4 cups flour

Glaze Ingredients:
2 cups powdered sugar
3 Tbsp. lemon juice, squeezed
1 tsp. lemon zest

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the cookie ingredients to form a sticky dough. Use a cookie scooper to drop spoonfuls onto a pan lined with parchment paper. Make sure you have at least 2 inches between each cookie. Bake 10 minutes or until the bottoms are golden and the tops are still white. Transfer to a wire rack and cool.

Mix together the ingredients for the glaze. If it is a little thick just add 1/2 teaspoon water to make it easy to spread onto the cookies. Add a tiny bit more water if it is still too thick.

These are really YUMMY! You could even add sprinkles on the top if the glaze is still wet.
