How To Make orange ricotta cookies

• Step 1
  Cookies... In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until nicely combined, about 2 minutes; set aside.
• Step 2
  In the bowl of a stand mixer, add sugar and butter. Using the paddle attachment, process on medium speed until the mixture is creamy, about 2 minutes.
• Step 3
  Add one egg at a time, mixing well between each addition. Add ricotta, vanilla extract, and orange zest. Mix for 1 minute, cleaning the sides and the bottom of the bowl.
• Step 4
  Add dry ingredients and process on low speed until just combined. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Step 5
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and position rack on the top 3rd. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper; set aside.
• Step 6
  Using a tablespoon-sized portion scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches apart.
• Step 7
  Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden, rotating the sheets halfway through cooking.
• Step 8
  Remove from heat and let rest for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack lined with parchment paper; allow to cool completely before icing.
• Step 9
  Glaze... In a bowl, add confectioners’ sugar, orange juice, and orange zest. Stir until the mixture is nicely combined and smooth.
• Step 10
  Dip the top of the cookies in the glaze, hold them up for a few seconds to let the excess drip off, and return them to the wire rack to dry completely, about 3 hours.
• Step 11
  Store the cookies in an airtight container for 4 days or freeze them for up to 1 month.
