Classic Italian foods always seem to make an appearance on our family table at the holidays. For my husband Jack and his big Italian family – of course, that makes sense!
INGREDIENTS
For the cookies
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
A pinch of kosher salt
1 cup sugar
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
2 eggs
8 ounces fresh whole-milk ricotta (drain any excess liquid, if necessary)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of 1 large orange (about 2 teaspoons)
For the glaze
1/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest
2 1/2 to 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a bowl and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, place the sugar and softened butter and beat on high until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the first egg to the mixing bowl and mix well. Then add the second egg, and again mix well.
Add the ricotta, vaniila and orange zest and mix to combine.
Add the flour mixture and mix on low until all ingredients are just combined – being careful not to over mix.
