Limocella Ricotta Cheesecake Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons limoncello
- Zest of 1 lemon
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons limoncello
- Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, ricotta cheese, limoncello, and lemon zest until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Shape the Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still be soft.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, limoncello, and lemon zest until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more limoncello if needed.
- Glaze the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top of each cookie. Let the glaze set before serving.
- Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy these delicious limoncello ricotta cheesecake cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
Tips
- For a more intense lemon flavor, you can add a bit more lemon zest to both the cookie dough and the glaze.
- Ensure that the ricotta cheese is well-drained to prevent excess moisture in the cookie dough.
- If you prefer a thicker glaze, use less limoncello or add more powdered sugar until you reach the desired consistency.
Enjoy your baking!
