For shame- this is an EXACT plagiarized copy of Giada De Laurentiis's lemon ricotta cookies. Another reviewer, Cindergirl claimed it was not an "exact" copy because this recipe calls for 1/2 the amount of butter. But I think she should take another look at her measurement equivalents... 1 stick of butter is equal to a half cup of butter (not a whole cup). So yes this is an exact copy. Very dishonest to claim another's work as your own.... -
Excellent! This recipe is from Giada de Laurentiis of the Food Network. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/lemon-ricotta-cookies-with-lemon-glaze-recipe/index.html Don't skip the glaze. It adds a tast-sweet brightness to the cookies. -
I took these to work today, and they were a huge hit (and my colleagues are all foodies-- so, they can be a tough crowd)! Most people who tried them thought they were scones, not cookies. I'd have to agree that they're a bit too cakey to be called cookes. In any case, they have a light, bright lemony flavor. The perfect treat for a warm spring day.

I only made half the recipe because I had leftover ricotta. I added a 1/2 teaspoon vanilla to the batter and only made cookies one tablespoon size . Easier to glaze them when cookies are warm. Simple cookie but flavorful. -
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy....excellent cookies! Just like the ones I had in Capri, Italy!
