ALMOND RICOTTA COOKIES

Course Dessert
Cuisine Italian
Servings 27 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup almond oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • ½ tsp almond extract

Glaze

  • ¾ cup icing sugar
  • 1 tbsp amaretto

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In the large bowl combine the almond oil and the sugar. Using an electric mixer beat for about 3 minutes. Add the egg, beating until incorporated.
  • Add the ricotta and almond extract. Beat to combine.
  • Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon the dough with a cookie scoop onto the baking sheets. If you don't have a cookie scoop, spoon 2 tablespoons per cookie. 
  • Bake for 15 minutes, until slightly golden at the edges. Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 20 minutes.
  • Take the cooled cookie and dip it into the glaze. Let the glaze harden for about 2 hours in the fridge.

Glaze

  • Combine the icing sugar and amaretto liquor in a small bowl and stir until smooth.

Notes

You can keep them out to harden, but I prefer to keep them in the fridge to make sure they are set.
Store them in the fridge in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
