1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Mix butter, sugar, eggs, ricotta cheese, vanilla, flour, baking powder and baking soda in bowl.
3
Stir until well mixed.
4
You may want to mix all ingredients together except ricotta cheese before mixing in ricotta.
5
Put teaspoon sized dollops of cookie batter onto buttered cookie sheets (or buttered pieces of foil to save on cleanup).
6
Place cookie sheet (or foil on top of cookie sheet) in oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown on top.
7
Cook time can vary greatly based on your oven and the size of your cookies.
8
Remove and let cool.
9
Repeat until all all batter is used.
10
Mix together a few drops of milk and a lot of confectioners sugar to create a thick icing.
11
Use your own judgment, or your own icing recipe.
12
After cookies cool, drizzle this icing on the cookies (as much or as little as you'd like -- the sweetness of these cookies comes largely from the icing).
13
Before icing dries, pour sprinkles (any kind) or other decoration to give cookies color and design.
14
When icing dries store cookies in jar or ziploc.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
