This is an old family recipe. These cookies are delicious and can be decorated according to the holiday/occasion. Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
1 cup ricotta cheese |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
4 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 egg whites |
2 cups powdered sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
crystalized candy sprinkles |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and ricotta cheese with electric mixer on medium speed for 10 minutes.
2. Gradually add sugar. Blend.
3. Add eggs. Blend.
4. Separately mix flour, baking soda and salt and gradually add to batter. Blend.
5. Roll batter into small balls, a little smaller than a Dunkin Donuts Munchkin. You should have enough cookies for two cookie sheets.
6. Bake on lightly greased cookie sheet with no sides at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
7. Cool completely before frosting.
8. For frosting, mix egg whites, powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until well-blended.
9. Frost cookies.
10. Add sprinkles to cookies.
11. Wait a few minutes for frosting to set.
12. Enjoy!
