Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
- Combine butter and sugar in a large bowl; cream together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, Ricotta, lemon extract (or oil), zest and juice; blend well. Add dry ingredients 1 cup at a time, blending to combine each time. Blend final mixture together until dough forms.
- Drop dough by rounded tablespoon 2 inches apart on baking sheets (cookies will spread). Bake until cookie edges are very light golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. Let cookies rest on baking sheet for a few minutes and transfer to wire cooling rack.
- While cookies cool, prepare glaze by creaming together butter and sugar. Continue to mix, gradually adding lemon juice until desired consistency.
- Decorate cooled cookies, adding dragées or decorating sugar, if desired, before icing sets.
