Fiori Di Sicilia Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup sugar sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 7 ounces full fat ricotta cheese
• 1 teaspoon fiori di sicilia

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl, then keep that nearby.
3. In a stand mixer bowl with the paddle attached, cream the butter and sugar until the mixture looks pale and airy, about 4 minutes. Mix in the egg, then the egg yolk. Add the ricotta and fiori di sicilia, and beat until everything comes together. Pour in the dry mixture and mix just until it is incorporated.
4. Scoop the dough in rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the undersides are lightly golden, about 18 minutes. Let the cookies sit for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack so they can cool completely.
