• 1 tsp vanilla paste
• 1 egg(s), size M
• 250 g wheat flour type 405 , a little more if needed

Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour

For about 36 – 38 cookies

Mix the butter, sugar, ricotta, vanilla paste, and egg in a bowl with a hand mixer. Sift the flour with the baking soda and baking powder and mix it with the ricotta mixture to form a dough. If the dough is still too soft, add more flour. The dough should not be too soft, but it may still be a little sticky. Use a spoon to scoop out pieces weighing about 30g and place them, not too densely, on two baking sheets lined with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat) and bake the cookies in the upper part of the oven for about 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack. Mix the powdered sugar with the baking flavoring and milk to make a glaze. Spread this on the cooled cookies and sprinkle with the sugar sprinkles.
