Was looking for a way to use up some ricotta cheese. Even the husband liked these.

I have an Italian co-worker who makes the most amazing cookies for the holiday potluck. She calls them "love knots" and I covet them. This recipe is so close that I'm calling it a match. I can't tell my co-worker...I'm afraid I could end up with concrete shoes in the bottom of the river! The dough is very soft so I set it in the fridge for 30 minutes and used a Pampered Chef small scoop to form the cookies (approx 1 tablespoon), then placed on parchment paper. They did not spread much so 2 inches apart is more than sufficient. These cookies are not golden (until you lift them off the pan). They are done when they don't look wet/shiny. Make sure to allow the cookies to rest for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan. You won't be disappointed! I ended up with just over 50 small rounded cookies.

These tasted good. They are super duper soft though. They were completely golden like they were done on the bottom but my brother and friend thought they were a little too soft. They ate them all though. I added almond extract to the icing and I thought that made them taste even better. Thanks!

Easy to make dough. Was a bit runny in my case so it made more then 36 cookies. Maybe next time I will bake them a little longer, the are a bit too soggy I think. The icing, I used at least double the milk and added a big splurge of lemon juice. This lightened the sweetness of the icing and the combo with the cookies is great.

This cake-like cookie is just amazing! I've made them numerous times since Christmas with different sprinkles for each holiday. People rave and always want the recipe. I use a Tbsp. cookie scoop and I use a more buttery icing-with 1/2 cup butter, 3.5 c. powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla and half and half as needed. Such a nice gift for new moms and dads.

OMG! These were so easy and melt in your mouth! I did need to add a small amount of extra flour to get the right consistency, but not too much. The frosting makes the cookie, too. Next time I want to try this with almond extract, as that has always been big in my mother's Sicilian family. Thanks for an easy, tasty recipe!

I made this recipe gluten free with rice flour and the ricotta cheese really helped keep these cookies light and airy. Would make a good half moon cookie base too!

I was looking for an easy Italian cookie to make for a diverse crowd and this reminded me of cookies I had growing up. The recipe was easy and very tasty. Thank you.

Beautiful, soft, almost cake-like texture. I followed recipe exactly and have always had excellent results, although these cookies will brown a bit if you use a fan-forced oven. I also use a small-gauge ice cream scoop to make evenly sized cookies. This is a much loved, much requested cookie recipe. Thanks for sharing!

(I added a little lemon zest) My grandchildren are eating them faster than I can bake them. They are very tender little cake like cookie. I normally make an almond flavor firmer cookie but this was a good change, a keeper, but I will still make my long time Italian cookie recipe.

These are absolutely delicious, and so easy to make! I didn't make any changes to the recipe...it made about 30 cookies, and there was *just enough* frosting. I almost wish I would have made a tad more, but you didn't really need it. I baked them for exactly 10 minutes and they came out perfect...very moist and tasty. I'll definitely be making them again.

I made these cookies and they were ok. It was a nice use for the leftover ricotta cheese. I don't think I'd make them again, however. They didn't store well, got really soggy, and seemed to lose flavor. I wound up throwing away the whole batch. I have a recipe for Ricotta cakes, which I think I will finally try next time I have leftover ricotta.

I thought these cookies were phenominal. I prefer the icing to be a little thinner so I added a little more milk to it. Another variation I tried was to substitute 8 ounces of cream cheese for the ricotta. THey were thicker and held their shape better and tasted soooooo good!

I was looking for a few new cookie recipes to try to add to our Christmas Cookie list and decided to try these. WoW, was a delightful cookie! I followed the recipe as stated except I did use almond extract instead of vanilla. We also sprinkled red and white sugar crystals on them. My family wouldn't leave them alone. I had to hide them in the garage refridgerator! These will be on the "list" this year!

I can't say YUMMMMMM loud enough! This was the end to an almost perfect Italian Thanksgiving at our house this year. We always have an "untraditional" meal at Thanksgiving and with this year being Italian, I thought these cookies would make an apropriate desert......I have made them again since and even felt comfortable giving a batch to one of my college professors whose mother is from Sicily. We will definitely make these a new favorite at our house.
