These are a soft, cake-like cookies. They are absolutely yummy. I got this recipe from The Canadian Baker.

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
assorted liquid food coloring
Directions:
1. Preparation:.
2. In large bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy; beat in egg, ricotta and vanilla, beating well after each.
3. In separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder; stir into ricotta mixture.
4. Drop by generous 1 tbsp (15 mL) onto parchment paper–lined rimless baking sheets. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven until bottoms are golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool.
5. Icing:.
6. In bowl, beat cream cheese with butter. Beat in icing sugar until creamy; beat in vanilla. Divide into thirds; tint each desired pastel colour. Spread over tops of cookies. Refrigerate until icing is firm, about 30 minutes. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 2 days.).
