Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. In a large bowl, cream softened butter and sugar, then beat in eggs, vanilla, zest and ricotta until blended.
  4. Add flour mixture and beat until combined.
  5. Cover and chill at least one hour.
  6. Shape dough into balls, and place on cookie sheets (if not non-stick, lightly grease or use a Silpat).
  7. Bake 10 minutes, or until bottoms are light brown. Cool for one minute or so and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. To make icing, stir confectioners' sugar, juice and zest in a small bowl until smooth.
  9. Drizzle icing evenly over each cookie. (I use a teaspoon to put the icing on, and then use the back of the spoon to spread it around a bit.) Garnish with sprinkles. Let stand until icing hardens.
