Giada’s Lemon Ricotta Cookies

If you know anything about me, you know my love for Giada. Her restaurant at the Cromwell in Vegas was our first introduction to fine dining and tasting/chef’s menus. Since then, I have purchased all of her cookbooks and made so many of her recipes, which are always incredible. These lemon ricotta cookies were no different! I did change a few things, but I will put the original notes if you want to use her recipe

Ingredients

  • Cookies
    • 2.5 cups Kamut flour (or 3 cups all-purpose)
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 8 TBSP unsalted butter (1 stick) at room temperature
    • 1 cup sugar (her recipe called for 2)
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 150z container of whole-milk ricotta cheese
    • Zest of 1 lemon
    • 3 TBSP fresh lemon juice
  • Lemon Glaze
    • 1 cup powdered sugar (hers called for 2)
    • Zest of 1 lemon
    • 2 TBSP lemon juice (hers called for 3-4)

Directions

  • Set oven to 375
  • In a bowl, cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and ricotta cheese and mix
  • Add lemon juice and zest
  • Add salt, flour, and baking powder and beat together
  • On a parchment-covered cookie sheet, spoon 2 TBSP dough for each cookie (yields 16-18)
  • Bake for 15 minutes and let cool completely before mixing glaze
  • Combine glaze ingredients and frost once cookies are completely cooled
  • Enjoy!
