Ricotta Cheese Cookies

This is my Mom's go-to cookie recipe- whether it be for a holiday party or for those "just-because-I-felt-like-making-cookies" kinds of days. Aside from them being light and delicious they are also one of the fastest cookies to make. From start to finish it takes less than 30 minutes to make these Italian treats!

Ingredients:

For Cookies:  Yields about 5 Dozen

Butter (softened)--- 1 CUP
Granulated Sugar--- 2 CUP
Ricotta Cheese--- 15oz Tub
Vanilla Extract--- 3 TSP
Salt--- 1 TSP
Baking Powder--- 1 TSP
All Purpose Flour--- 4 CUP
Eggs (whisked)--- 3 (Large)

For Glaze:

Powdered Sugar--- 1 CUP
Milk--- About 3 TSPs

STEP BY STEP:

• Preheat Oven to 350F

• In an electric mixer, combine all ingredients together until a sticky, dough ball forms

(You can also bake cookies like mini cupcakes!)
