This traditional Nth. Italian recipe of Ricotta Cookies is an Easter favorite and a personal favorite of mine.
Ricotta is one of my all time favorite foods so it’s easy to say that I love Ricotta, and in these cookies there is no exception to that rule.
The ricotta makes these cookies deliciously light in texture to taste, even with the richness of the butter. Try them for yourself and serve them up at your next Easter celebration or special occasion. They will soon become one of your favorites too.
