Method

In a bowl combine ricotta cheese and vanilla; set aside. In another bowl combine cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda; set aside. Cream sugar and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat in egg. With mixer on low speed, alternately add ricotta mixture and flour mixture to creamed mixture, beating until combined. Drop dough by teaspoons onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool. Meanwhile, for frosting, combine powdered sugar, milk, whipped cream, and enough lemon juice to make drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cooled cookies.

 

Notes: Options: add mini chocolate chips before baking - do not frost. Cookies freeze well unfrosted.

 

Number of Servings: approx. 5 dozen
