Ricotta Cookies

2 1/2 cups cake flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
Measure together and set aside.

10 1/2 Tbs butter, softened
1 1/3 cups sugar
Cream together.

1 cup ricotta
1 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
Add to butter and mix well.

Add dry ingredients and mix.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

I've had this recipe for years and finally tried it. It's good, but you can't really taste the ricotta. It seems like it mainly affects the texture. You can do a bunch of variations on it, so I also tried the lemon poppy seed (add lemon zest and poppy seeds to dough), which was voted as the favorite, and chocolate marble (add a few tablespoons melted chocolate to half the dough). I iced the plain and lemon cookies with a cream cheese frosting, and put a chocolate glaze (melted chocolate with butter added) to the chocolate marble ones. Makes very soft and moist cookies.
