Ricotta Cookies


Ricotta Cookies:
1 cup butter, soften at room temperature
1/2 cup ricotta, at room temperature
2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl, blend softened butter with ricotta until creamy. Add vanilla and mix well. Add sugar gradually, beating until well blended. Add eggs & mix well. Slowly stir in dry ingredients & blend well. Drop from a teaspoon onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes, don’t over bake. Cookies will have only a small amount of golden coloring.

After cookies have completely cooled, frost with glaze & sprinkle with sugar sprinkles.

Glaze Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or flavoring of your choice
2 to 4 teaspoons milk

Makes approximately 70 Cookies.

These look like Grandmother Crenshaw's tea cakes. Do they taste anything like them? Would like to sample them, save some for Christmas get together.
