Italian Ricotta Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat together the ricotta cheese, softened butter, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and egg, mixing until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cookies generously with powdered sugar before serving.
