Incredibly soft and fluffy cookies almost like little orange cakes topped with a zesty, shiny orange glaze.
1/2 cup soft butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1 cup ricotta
2 tsps orange zest
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cups flour
Glaze:
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
1/2 tsp orange zest
2 tbsps fresh squeezed orange juice
1 tbsp corn syrup
pinch of salt
Beat the butter then add the sugar, baking soda and salt and beat again. Add the egg, ricotta, orange zest and vanilla and mix until smooth. Blend in the flour and mix until a soft dough forms.
Roll into 1" balls and place on parchment lined baking sheets about 1.5" apart. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.
Once cookies have cooled on a rack, combine the glaze ingredients. Dip each cookie top in the glaze and gently shake excess off. Place back on racks to set for about 30 minutes. The glaze made just enough for all the cookies. I was left with about 1 tsp in the bowl! Store between waxed or parchment sheets in an airtight container in the fridge.
Makes 59 two-bite cookies
