These are my favorite! The moist cookies are the best & I look forward to the holidays to eat more than I should!! They are worth the work & your friends will really appreciate you when you show up with these.

Really enjoyed this one, although I skipped the icing. I also added orange zest.
Best part was stumping my friends at the cookie exchange on the 'secret ingredient' - nobody guessed ricotta cheese! :-)

Very easy recipe. These cookies were a big hit yesterday. We sprinkled red and green sugar over the icing and they looked beautiful.

Been looking at this receipe for a while now, and tonight I finally tried them...very easy, very tasty (even the hubby who isn't a "sweet" eater likes them. I did not vary from the instructions (which I normally do!)but there are a few variations you could try - like drizzling with chocolate! I got 60 cookies from this receipe using the small cookie scoop, good size. Will definately make them again...

Very good cookies- not too sweet, perfect with good coffee or espresso> I have a question though- what's the best way to store these for a few days?

My son-in-law gave me the best compliment aboutthe ricotta cookies at yesterday's holiday gathering. He said they tasted just like the ones his mother used to make. Also he requested that I make them again next year.
