Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
15 oz ricotta cheese
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 – 4 tbsp milk or heavy cream
nonpareils (sprinkles)
Directions: Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition. Add in the ricotta cheese, vanilla and almond extract and beat until smooth.
Mix in the baking powder and baking soda. Add in the flour and mix until combined. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
Using a cookie scooper, form cookies into balls. Onto a parchment lined baking sheet, place the cookies in the oven for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees. Just until the edges are a very light brown.
Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 1 minute then transfer to a cooling rack.
Make the glaze: Combine all of the glaze ingredients and mix until smooth. After the cookies have cooled, you can either dip the tops of each cookie in the glaze or spoon on the glaze. Sprinkle on the nonpareils before the glaze hardens.
Cookies can be stored uncovered at room temp or in the fridge for up to 4 days.

🤗 Looks Delicious! I like your videos editing and presentation. I make cooking 🍳 🧑🍳 videos too!!! I’m so thankful to be able to learn from talented creators like you!!!!
Definitely need to refrigerate dough, it’s worth the wait.
Anise or almond extract for these cookies.
Those beautiful nonpareil sprinkles make these pop so much, so pleasing on the eye. I'm getting sick of the monotonous chocolate chip cookies with the usual eggs, sugar, butter, flour mix and bake routine. I want a nice challenge, something new. And I think these are them! Thank you for sharing this with us.

How do u get your glaze so white
Can u grease the scooper so the dough doesn't stick?
I forgot to ask ya, can u melt the butter, or having it cut in little pieces is better
Okay 👍🏻 I just watched this 5 times in the past 3 weeks. I wanted to memorize it till my 🧠 hurt. I made these twice already & Honest to God, they are indeed the best Italian Ricotta cookie 🍪 ever.
Pretty sure I could make these cookies in my sleep now. Really good directions.
I made this cookies delitious and all gone you are right
Since they are basically, an Italian cookie, I put green,white, and red sprinkles on them.
I know this is an older video – but can you tell me if this dough is freezable – maybe before I bake? or can I freeze cookies after baked?
I love your recipes
People pronouncing ricotta cheese like “rickOTuh” physically hurts my soul. RiGOATuh.
