Soft, pillowy almond ricotta cookies that melt in your mouth, combining delightful nuttiness with sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar or glazing for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the ricotta cheese, sugar, and softened butter until smooth.
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract, almond extract, and egg until well combined.
  4. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients.
  5. Shape spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze before serving (optional).

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to three months. Use room temperature butter for better texture and avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies light and fluffy.
