Ingredients You Need to Make Lemon Ricotta Cookies
Ok, so you know there is lemon and ricotta in these, but what else is there? All of your standard cookie ingredients are in these. So, go ahead and whip some up. And save some for later, they freeze so well! Check out the exact measurements on the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
Cookies
Flour: I used all purpose flour in this recipe. Baking Soda and Baking Powder: These will help the cookies to rise and have a soft texture. Salt: The salt enhances all of the flavors in the recipe. Butter: Use unsalted butter that has been softened to room temperature. Granulated Sugar: Good cookies always have sugar in them! Yum! Eggs: Set your eggs out so that they are at room temperature before mixing and they will combine better with the other ingredients. Ricotta Cheese: I like to make sure that the ricotta cheese is whole milk and not a lower fat content. Lemon Juice and Lemon Zest: This will add that tangy, lemon flavor to the lemon ricotta cookies.
Glaze
Powdered Sugar: I always use this to make a glaze because it is sweet and dissolves into a smooth texture. Lemon Juice and Lemon Zest: These bring the perfect amount of lemon flavor to the glaze!

Glaze
Almonds: Lemons and almonds complement each other so well! Try adding some sliced almonds to the top of the glaze before it hardens and they will stick! Add a splash of almond extract to the dough to really take it up a notch. Blueberries: These two (lemon and blueberries) are a match made in heaven! Add some to the dough or add them as a garnish just before eating. Juice: If you are out of lemons but want citrus cookies, then try using oranges or limes instead! It makes a totally different cookie, but it’s also very delicious!
In the Refrigerator: Once your cookies have cooled then store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last about a week! In the Freezer: Place your cooked cookies in an airtight container or ziplock bag and label it with the date. Your cookies will last for up to 3 months in the freezer.
