Ingredients

½ cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces ricotta cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ tablespoons milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and ricotta cheese.
