These cookies are fantastic! I needed to use up some cottage cheese, and so I used that instead of the Ricotta cheese. I blended it up really smooth, and you could not even tell it was in there. Personally, I thought the cookies tasted fine without frosting, but the rest of my family enjoyed the vanilla glaze I put on top. My whole family really liked these cookies, and could not even tell that there was cottage cheese in it (which is saying a lot). These cookies are light, fluffy, and cake-like. There's not a whole lot of flavor, but you don't really need any. They taste fine just the way they are. They do not look like they're done after 8-10 min. but they are--I baked mine for 10 min. and they were done. Though you could probably bake them a little longer without over-baking them. Still, they were not doughy on the inside at all. Although I probably would not buy cottage cheese/ricotta cheese specially just to make this recipe, it's a great way to use it up! Eat them warm, that's when they taste the best! ;)

i so enjoyed these cookies! they are very much a typical italian cookie, not a lot of flavor but more about the texture. they have a cakey texture that i loooove in a cookie. i underbaked mine (took them out after 7 mins) and kept them in the fridge after i glazed them. they were so moist and delicious, it was almost like eating cookie dough (which for me is a good thing!!) i did not have lemon extract so i subbed 3T of lemon juice in the glaze. i don't know how much of a difference that made but they were very good nonetheless. thank you and yum!!

Like other reviewers I had leftover ricotta that I didn't want to waste. This recipe was easy to make and delicious. I altered the recipe and instead of icing them I added chocolate chips. I also chopped up some fresh strawberries and added them and then drizzled some white chocolate on them (but they need to cook a bit longer with the strawberries or they end up a little soggy). Everyone loved this recipe and I will definitely make them again.

Good.. But not what I was expecting. The ones I've had were a little more dense than these. But they turned out tasty .. Just not what I was looking for

Don't have anything bad to say about this cookie recipe. We just loved it. Held shape well during and after baking, didn't spread, puffed nicely. Flavorful, moist, light and airy, soft, and stayed soft even the day after baked. These didn't last long at all. Yummy!!

This recipe is absolutely great for the cookie part. Everyone that tried it, loved it, including one friend of mine who is extremely picky about food. The texture was amazing. The only reason why I did not give this recipe 5 stars was the icing. I had quite a hard time getting the icing to harden properly. When I tried to pile the cookies, the icing got sticky and smooshed. A couple of tips: 1. Put the sprinkles on right after the icing so they stick 2. Role the dough in balls before placing on cookie sheet to form a nice shape 3. You may need to bake the cookies longer than the recipe's alotted time. I took out my cookies just after they began to brown slightly on the bottom, and I was happy with that consistency.

These were delicious. I made them for family at Christmas and they held up well during our travel. I will warn that if they are in an airtight container for more than a couple of days all the moisture in these cookies will turn them into a soggy clump. In other words, they aren't the kind you'll ship across the sea. They may make it to the next state, but beware and eat these light and moist cookies up quick.

I thought these cookies were very delicious. They definitely DO NOT have a traditional crisp cookie texture. They are more cake-like. But, nevertheless, they are very moist and flavorful. Instead of lemon in the icing, I used confectioner's sugar, milk and a touch of almond extract. Next time I will try the lemon flavor in the icing. I halved the recipe and got 3 dozen cookies out of it.

Just finished making these and they are delicious. Very moist. Instead of using the icing listed, I went with the glaze from the Ricotta Cookies II recipe. I prefer a lighter glaze over an icing for these cookies. My Italian friends would be proud of me. I'm including these cookies with 3 other types I made to give out for Christmas treats!

Fabulous cookies! Sweet, tender, moist, addictive! The only change I made was to add a little lemon to the icing. However, these cookies are good enough to stand alone!

Good, and easy. I got a lot of interesting comments when I answered the questions about what was in them, but everyone loved them. I had to bake about 15 min each batch; was too gooey inside otherwise. They are a mild, not very sweet cake like cookie. They do not spread much at all. I eliminated the lemon extract from the frosting only bc I had candy cane sprinkles that are peppermint and I didn't want the flavors competing. Thanks for the recipe!

These were very good. A nice change from primarily chocolate dominated cookies. I only made 1/2 a batch because I didn't have the full amount of ricotta and I still got 36 cookies out of the batch. They came out very light and just slightly sweet, with a nice hint of vanilla. I was going to make two kinds of icing, one with lemon and the other with almond extract, but when I took the bottle of almond out of the cabinet I found it had evaporated so I had to ice them all with lemon. It was very nice, although I think I may use real lemon juice next time instead of the extract because the lemon did not taste as true as it could have been. One last note, I had no problem with my icing completely drying. I did a light coat though so that may have been why.
