Original Recipe Yield 3 dozen

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup candied mixed fruit
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
35 pecan halves

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg, vanilla, and ricotta cheese. Combine the flour and salt; blend into the ricotta mixture. Stir in the candied fruit and walnuts using a wooden spoon. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheets. Top each cookie with a pecan half.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until sides begin to brown. Remove and cool cookies on wire racks.
