Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the ricotta cheese, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
