Donatina Zampino of St-Leonard, Que., says these melt-in-your-mouth cookies are as traditional as the wedding cake in her family.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- Glaze:
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp finely grated lemon rind
Preparation
In large bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy; beat in egg, ricotta and vanilla, beating well after each.
In separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and baking soda; stir into ricotta mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Roll by 1 tbsp (15 mL) into balls. Place, 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart, on parchment paper–lined rimless baking sheets. Bake in centre of 350°F (180°C) oven for about 12 minutes or until white and slightly firm to the touch. Let cool on pans for 5 minutes. Transfer to racks; let cool completely.
Glaze: In small bowl, whisk together icing sugar, milk and lemon rind until smooth. Dip tops of cookies into icing. Let stand on rack until icing is set, about 30 minutes. (Make-ahead: Store layered between waxed paper in airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 1 month.)
