Italian Ricotta Cookies with a Christmasy twist from Cooking Classy

It is really time for a recipe here in the Christmas kitchen!  A Christmas cookie recipe, to be specific!  These Italian Ricotta Cookies are from Jaclyn at Cooking Classy and look absolutely delicious and so festive.

Although we don't always think about turning on our ovens to bake cookies in July, I think that this year we might find a day or two when we actually want to do so.  There have been a number of dark, chilly, rainy days in June and I won't be a bit surprised if we also see some of those in July.  It would be the perfect time to try a cookie recipe!

I've made Italian Ricotta Cookies in the past and they really are delicious.  I've always decorated them with just regular multicolored sprinkles.  But I love the festive touches that Jaclyn has added with a variety of Christmas sprinkles and trims.

I'm looking forward to trying Jaclyn's recipe sometime this month.  I have a container of ricotta waiting in the fridge.  I hope you enjoy these classic cookies if you try them.  I think they would be perfect with a glass of lemonade!

  1. They sure are pretty! They look kind of like those soft bakery cookies sold in grocery stores. My grandsons love those things.

    1. They are pretty, aren't they? The ricotta cookies I've made (and I think this recipe is similar) are soft and kind of puffy. The icing is more like a glaze.

      But now those bakery cookies (which Mr. T also loves) -- here's a clone of those: Lofthouse Style Sugar Cookies for when you feel like baking again.

    1. Too hot here to bake too, Lucie! Ricotta cookies are very much an Italian specialty. They are good!

  4. So pretty. I need to practice my icing skills. I bought a Wilton set that has step by step photos and all the tools for feathering.
