Instructions
Bake the Cookies
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl of a stand mixer or large bowl, beat butter, sugar, and lemon zest until light and fluffy. Mix in ricotta and extract until well combined.
Add eggs one and a time, beating after each. Gradually add flour mixture to the bowl and mix well.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
Remove from refrigerator and preheat oven to 350° F (180° C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Scoop dough using a small cookie dough scoop, shape into balls, and place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until cookies are golden brown.
Cool on wire rack.
Make the Glaze
In a medium bowl, beat all ingredients until smooth. Spread on fully cooled cookies or dip the tops.
Immediately add sprinkles.
Notes
Extract - swap out the lemon extract for vanilla. Using clear vanilla extract will help to keep the glaze bright white
