Ricotta Cookies

No, ricotta isn't just for dinner (like these go-to Lasagna Roll Ups and that Lemon Ricotta Parmesan Pasta). It makes delicious desserts like the classic Cannoli, Lemon Ricotta Cake, and these easy Cannoli Cream Filled Puff Pasty Tarts. But of course one of the best desserts you can make with cannoli are the heavenly Italian Ricotta Cookies.

You don't taste the ricotta in the cookies but rather you it lends a wonderful richness and moisture to the cookies. It's like that secret ingredient that no one could quite put there finger on.

Since ricotta cookies are one of my favorites (have you tried my Orange Chocolate Chip Ricotta Cookies yet??), I decided to throw out another flavor - these oh so tasty Lemon Poppy Seed Ricotta Cookies.

It's a classic pairing with that tangy lemon and the added texture of those chewy flecks of poppy seeds (which also add a nice background layer of flavor to compliment the lemon). It's a match that was destined to be in ricotta cookie form. These are without a doubt a must try cookie!
