Ricotta Almond Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, cream together butter, sugar, eggs, ricotta cheese, and vanilla extract. Combine the flour, baking powder, and baking soda; blend into the creamed mixture, mixing in additional flour as necessary to form a workable dough. Roll dough into teaspoon-sized balls, and arrange on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned.
