Ingredients Method

Ingredients

2 sticks butter (1 cup)
2 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
15 oz ricotta cheese

Icing

1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
4 cups 10x/powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp milk

Method

Preheat oven to 350
In a bowl, cream together butter and sugars.
Add vanilla
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt
Alternately mix in flour mixture and ricotta cheese to butter mixture. Start and end with flour mixture.
Drop by teaspoonfuls on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack

Icing

Cream butter. Add in powdered sugar a bit at a time.
Add in vanilla and milk. Add more milk until you get to your desired consistency. I like a "soft" icing, so I add about 4-4 1/2 Tablespoons.
Frost cookies when they are completely cool.
