My best friend makes the best ricotta cookies. We’ve been eating them since we were kids, sneaking as many as we could from her mom’s Christmas cookie tin. I have adapted her original recipe to make them sourdough-friendly, which happens to be the perfect complement to citrusy lime. The texture is delightfully soft, almost cake-like, and sweetened with a quick-and-easy lime glaze. These cookies make great holiday gifts.
