Cookies

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened

  • 8 oz ricotta
  • juice and zest of 1 medium orange
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • pinch salt

Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350. Butter pans or line with parchment.

Cream butter and sugar until light. Add eggs one at a time and mix well after each addition.

Add ricotta, zest, and orange juice, then add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
