Ricotta Cheese Cookies

This much-loved cookie recipe is quick, easy, delicious, and pretty. You can't go wrong!



For the cookies:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
1 (15 oz) container of ricotta cheese
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 cups all-purpose flour

For the glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
milk
sprinkles

Preheat oven to 350 F. 

Mix all of the cookie ingredients well until the dough sticks together into a big ball. It will be sticky. 

Drop by teaspoon on an ungreased cookie sheet. 
Bake 10 minutes or until the bottoms turn golden brown. 

Let cool for 1 minute and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. 

In a small saucepan slowly stir milk into the powdered sugar until it creates a glaze thin enough to be spread over the cookies. Stir over low heat then spread over cooled cookies. Quickly top with sprinkles.

Note: Many people write to ask if there is an error in the recipe because there are no eggs. This is an egg-less recipe, no eggs are required.
