Lemon Ricotta Cookies with Lemon Glaze

My Next Venture for this Christmas was this Cookie that i got from Food Network. Its made of Ricotta Cheese which gave it a Cake consistency. And the Lemon Glaze was just the kick it needed. They are just perfect against each other.

Ingredients
Makes 45 Cookies

All Purpose Flour - 2 1/2 cups
Baking Powder - 1 tspn
Salt - 1 tspn
Unsalted Butter - 1 stick (8 tbsp)
Sugar - 2 cups
Eggs - 2
Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese - 15 oz
Lemon Juice - 3 tbsp
Lemon Zest - 1 lemon

Glaze
Powdered Sugar - 1 1/2 cups
Lemon Juice - 3 tbsp
Lemon Zest - 1 lemon

Mix the All Purpose flour, Baking Powder and salt together and keep aside  (Dry Ingredients)

Take the butter and sugar in another bowl and combine them until fluffy using an electric mixer.
Now add the eggs one by one after mixing them well into the batter
Now add the Ricotta Cheese, Lemon Juice and the zest ad mix it well into the Batter (Wet Ingredients)

Now add 1/3rd of the Dry ingredients into the wet Ingredients and mix well. Do the same with the rest of the Dry Ingredients till its mixed well.
This is the Cookie Batter

Prehat Oven to 350 degrees F

Line the baking sheet with a Parchment paper and drop the cookie batter around 1 1/2 tbsp each.
Leave some space between each cookie as they will spread a bit.

Glaze
Take the powdered sugar in a bowl and add the zest and the lemon juice and mix well. This is our Glaze.

Rest the cookies for atleast 20 mins once they come out of the oven. Now spoon little zest onto them and let them rest for some time.

If you are planning to stack them for storing, its better to rest them atleast 2 hours after putting the glaze.

This cookie is really tasty, so please try atleast once.

Happy Baking Guys!!!
