Italian Lemon & Ricotta Cookies (Recipe)
Ingredients
8 ounces (250 g or about 1 ¾ cup) whole wheat flour
1 ⅔ tsp (8 g) baking powder
8 ounces (250 g) ricotta cheese well strained
1 medium egg
6 ounces (150 g) sugar
Zest of 1 lemon 2 tbsp lemon juice
Powdered sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
Preheat your oven at 330 F (170 C)
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl sift the flour and baking powder, mix and set aside.
In a large bowl add the ricotta, lemon zest and sugar. Smash with a fork and mix with a spatula until you have a smooth mixture.
Add the egg and lemon juice and mix until well combined.
Add the flour in 2 doses and blend until your dough is solid (do not overwork the dough, otherwise the cookies will be tough). If the dough is too soft, you can a bit of flour accordingly.
Form into small balls, about a tablespoon each and place on the baking sheet (about 25 cookies). You can add either add water or dough to your fingers for easier handling.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let them cool completely.
Once cool sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Enjoy!!!
