Lemon Ricotta Cookies�These easy and delectably delicious Lemon Ricotta Cookies are bursting with fresh citrus flavor! With a soft and airy texture and the perfect balance of tangy to sweet, these yummy cookies are like little bites of sunshine!

Ingredients (measured by weight for accuracy):�Lemon Ricotta Cookies:
* 75g (⅓ cups) unsalted butter, room temperature
* 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1 egg, room temperature
* 250g (1 cup) creamy full-fat ricotta cheese (drained if watery), room temperature
* 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
* Zest of 1 lemon
* 185g (1½ cups) all-purpose flour, sifted
* 1 tsp baking powder
* ¼ tsp salt

Lemon Glaze:
* 90g (¾ cup) powdered sugar
* 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
* Optional: extra lemon zest for garnish

Instructions:
1. Prepare the dough:
* Use an electric mixer to whip butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, mixing well.
* Mix in ricotta, lemon zest, and lemon juice until combined.
* Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into the batter. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined (do not overmix).
2. �
3. Chill the dough:
* Portion dough into 1-tbsp balls, spacing them 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate for 1–2 hours (or up to 2 days).
4. �
5. Bake:
* Preheat oven to 175°C/347°F (no fan) . Bake for 12–13 minutes , until edges are set but tops are pale. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
6. �
7. Glaze:
* Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice to desired consistency (adjust with more sugar or juice). Drizzle over cooled cookies, then sprinkle with zest.

Notes:
* Ingredients: Use a digital scale for precision. Ensure butter, eggs, and ricotta are at room temperature. Drain ricotta if watery. Sift dry ingredients.
* Technique: Chilling prevents spreading. Avoid overbaking—cookies firm up as they cool. Use an oven thermometer for accuracy.
* Storage: Keep at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

🎓 Expert Tips:

1. Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure butter, ricotta, and egg are at room temperature. This aids emulsification, creating a smooth batter that traps air for a tender texture.
2. High-Fat Ricotta: Opt for high-fat ricotta and drain it if watery. Excess liquid can lead to soggy cookies.
3. Gentle Mixing: Use a rubber spatula to fold in dry ingredients. Overmixing develops gluten, resulting in dense cookies.
4. Chill the Dough: Chilling firms the dough, preventing spreading and ensuring even baking. Cold butter melts slowly, creating lift.
5. Spacing Cookies: Leave 2 inches between dough portions. Crowding causes cookies to merge and flatten.
6. Avoid Overbaking: Pale tops indicate doneness. Overbaking dries out the cookies, making them crumbly.
7. Cool Before Glazing: Warm cookies melt glaze. Letting them cool ensures the glaze sets properly.

For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, remaining sugar, melted butter, and eggs. Stir until well combined.
3. Gradually add flour and salt to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
7. Spread the chopped walnuts evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with ground cinnamon and additional sugar if desired.
8. Starting from one long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
9. Cut the log into 1-inch slices and place them on a greased baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll.
10. Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
11. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
12. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
13. While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
14. Once the rolls are done, drizzle them with the glaze while they're still warm.

🍰 Russian Cheese Cake Recipe 🍰

🔸 Ingredients:
7 oz Butter
1.5 tsp Baking Powder
2 cups All-Purpose Flour
17.6 oz Sour Cream
4 Eggs
1.06 oz Vanilla Sugar
1 Vanilla Pod
5 tbsp Sugar

🔹 Instructions:
1️⃣ In a bowl, mix softened butter with flour and baking powder. Add sugar and eggs. Knead the dough until it resembles breadcrumbs.
2️⃣ Grease a detachable cake pan with butter. Transfer the dough into the pan, spreading it evenly and forming high edges (around 2.5-2.75 inches) along the sides. This is crucial for the cake, as it will rise during baking.
3️⃣ For the filling, whisk sour cream with eggs, vanilla, and sugar until smooth. Pour the mixture onto the dough, ensuring that the edges are higher than the filling.
4️⃣ Bake for 45-50 minutes at 350°F.

Hi, this is "Easy Cooking With Lada"!
Today I will teach you how to make a brand new recipe - Chocolate egg halves stuffed with ricotta cheese and decorated with sprinkles and jelly beans. It's an easy-to-follow recipe:

Grease the egg-shaped mold with melted butter.
Melt chocolate chips (dark/milk/semi-sweet).
Grease the mold with the chocolate, then freeze in the freezer for approximately 1 hour.
Mix ricotta with honey.
Add honey-coated corn flakes with sliced almonds. Mix again.
Fill the chocolate halves with the mixture.
Decorate with jelly beans and green sprinkles.
Enjoy!
P.S. In my opinion, it's more convenient to eat them with a spoon or fork, rather than with bare hands. Otherwise, it may get messy due to the melting chocolate.
