Frosted Lemon Ricotta Cookies


You know how sometimes, when you make a batch of cookies they're so good you end up eating almost all of them yourself?
Well.
That's what happened a couple days ago when I made these absolutely delicious Lemon Ricotta Cookies from LL at As for Me and My House, We Will Serve the Lord. The soft, cake-like base. The tangy lemon frosting. What can I say; I lost my head.
The only suggestion I'd add (other than to have someone whisk the cookies out of your sight as soon as you've eaten three or four) is you might want to use a few more lemons than the recipe calls for. For the cookie, I used the juice and zest of two lemons, not one (my lemons are pretty small); and for the frosting, I used the juice of three lemons and the zest of two.
Now go, make these, and try to leave a few for someone else.
Sheesh, some people are such gluttons.
