About Ricotta cookies

Ricotta cookies are soft, pillowy treats originating from Italian cuisine. Made with ricotta cheese, these delightful cookies have a moist and tender texture that sets them apart from traditional cookies. Key ingredients typically include flour, sugar, butter, eggs, ricotta cheese, and flavorings like vanilla or citrus zest. Their gentle sweetness and creamy richness make them a popular choice for festive occasions or as a complement to coffee or tea. While ricotta adds protein and calcium, these cookies are still indulgent, often containing significant amounts of sugar and butter, which contribute to their calorie and fat content. They can be glazed with powdered sugar icing for an extra touch of sweetness. Ricotta cookies are a delicious treat when enjoyed in moderation, highlighting the charm of Italian home baking with every bite.
