Classic Italian Ricotta Cookies
Ricotta cookies are a delightful Italian treat that are perfect for the holiday season or any special occasion. Made with creamy ricotta cheese, these cookies are soft, tender, and often adorned with a sweet glaze and colorful sprinkles. They have a subtle sweetness and a unique texture that makes them a favorite among cookie lovers. Here’s how to make these classic Italian ricotta cookies at home.
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Ricotta cheese | 1 cup |
| Granulated sugar | 1 cup |
| Unsalted butter | ½ cup (1 stick) |
| Egg | 1 large |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Baking powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Baking soda | ½ teaspoon |
| Salt | ¼ teaspoon |
| All-purpose flour | 3 cups |
| Powdered sugar | 1 cup (for glaze) |
| Milk | 2 tablespoons (for glaze) |
| Sprinkles | As desired (for topping) |
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, granulated sugar, and softened unsalted butter. Use a mixer or whisk to blend these ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the ricotta mixture. Continue mixing until everything is well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and all-purpose flour. Make sure there are no lumps in the flour.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Continue until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
- Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave enough space between each cookie, as they will spread slightly while baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-18 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency if needed; it should be pourable but thick enough to adhere to the cookies.
- Glaze the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top of each cookie using a spoon or a piping bag. Before the glaze sets, sprinkle your desired colorful sprinkles on top for a festive touch.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your classic Italian ricotta cookies with family and friends during the holiday season or whenever you crave a sweet treat!
