The Clean Plate Club: Lemon Ricotta Cookies with Lemon Glaze

I have to admit I was really excited to make these cookies. This is my first time participating in a baking round-up!

Lemon is one of my favorite flavors to bake with #1, and #2, it's a recipe from Giada De Laurentis! I'm a complete Food Network Loyalist. Next Food Network Star fans, I'm rooting big time for Melissa, how about you?

Okay, I know...back to the cookie!

Though I didn't quite know what to anticipate with the cookies, I was pleasantly surprised. They were super super easy from start to finish, though they look as though you could have spent hours on them! The ricotta makes the cookie exceptionally moist and delicious in more of a cake-like texture. The lemon glaze is pure lemon heaven! Since the cookies themselves are more mild in their lemon flavor, I definitely enjoyed the glaze. It brought all the flavors together in a sweet lemony bliss!
