Delizioso Biscottini con Ricotta

Biscottini con Ricotta

Cream Cheese Ice Box Cookies



You will love making these cookies. They are not only "Delizioso" but easy and everyone will love you for the effort.



1/2 cup butter softened

1/4 cup Ricotta cheese

1 1/2 cups unbleached all purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 tsp salt



Blend butter and Ricotta cheese thoroughly, and gradually add sifted dry ingredients to make a stiff dough. Form into a long roll, wrap in waxed paper and chill in ice box overnight.

Slice thin circles and bake on a buttered cookie sheet, in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes, or until delicately browned. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.



You won't regret making these lovely cookies. They are delicate and perfect for that afternoon cup of coffee or tea.

Ciao Bella
