Lemon Ricotta Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine ricotta, butter, sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on low speed.

Slowly add the flour and baking soda to the mixture. Once dry ingredients are incorporated, add the lemon peel.

Spoon teaspoon-sized dough balls onto greased cookie sheets.

Bake for 10 minutes, rotating the trays halfway through. Remove from oven and cool on a cookie rack.

Makes 4 dozen cookies.
