In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
About 3 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time.
Beat until well incorporated.
Add ricotta cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest beating to combine.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper and spoon tablespoons of the dough onto the sheets.
Bake for 15 minutes or until slightly brown around the edges. let cool on cookie sheets for 20 minutes. Then glaze.
For the glaze mix icing sugar, lemon juice and zest until smooth. Spoon about 1/2 tsp. onto each cookie and spread with the back of spoon.
Let glaze harden before putting in containers. I got 56 cookies. Follow my blog with Bloglovin
