The two star flavors of these lemon ricotta cookies hail directly from southern Italy, where both are in abundance. As they say, “If they grow together, they go together,” so it’s no surprise that the pair work perfectly in this one-bowl take on a classic cookie. You will find ricotta cookies around the Christmas holidays, often decorated with sprinkles. This recipe swaps the sprinkles for a shower of lemon zest that balances the sweet glaze and the rich ricotta, delivering a cookie that you can enjoy year-round.
