Orange Infused Sweet Ricotta Peach Cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Make the Cookie Dough

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the ricotta cheese, eggs, orange zest, and orange juice, mixing until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the diced peaches.

3. Bake the Cookies

  • Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

4. Make the Orange Glaze

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest until smooth.

5. Glaze the Cookies

  • Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the orange glaze over the top using a spoon or a piping bag.
  • Let the glaze set for about 15 minutes before serving.
