About Italian ricotta cookie

Italian Ricotta Cookies are soft, cake-like treats originating from Italian cuisine, celebrated for their delicate texture and subtle sweetness. These cookies are made with a simple blend of ingredients, including all-purpose flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and fresh ricotta cheese, which gives them their signature moistness. Often flavored with vanilla or citrus zest, they are typically topped with a light glaze and sometimes garnished with sprinkles. While ricotta cheese adds a protein boost and a creamy richness, the cookies are still a sweet indulgence due to their sugar content and the use of butter. These cookies are a festive favorite, commonly enjoyed during holidays or special occasions, offering a balance of traditional flavors and a satisfyingly soft bite. Best enjoyed in moderation, they embody the warmth and simplicity of Italian baking.
