These cookies are a pillowy mouthful of lemony almond goodness. One any Italian nonna would be proud of!
I have three cookie scoops of different sizes. The recipe was unclear how big the cookie should be, so I used the middle size scoop and had to nearly double the baking time. I wish there was clarification on the size. Otherwise the cookies are delicious!

These are so yummy and moist ... were a huge hit! I increased the two lemon items (lemon juice to 3 TB and lemon zest to 1 tsp). I did not make the frosting but instead added a lemoncello chocolate almond on top. Next time, I may lesson the almost extract to 2 tsp because there was a bit of an aftertaste (and I LOVE almond extract). Will definitely make again!
Fabulous with vanilla ice cream and fresh raspberries with a little amaretto drizzled over the top...Yum

Had some fresh sweet lemons I was able to pick off a tree in CA...turned out delicious! You wouldn't hardly know there was ricotta in it unless someone tells you.
I reduced the sugar to 3/4 C and used fresh squeezed lemon in the icing. They were so light and delicious!
These are more like biscuits or shortbread than cookies. Might try cinnamon and more lemon zest next time, or lemon extract instead. They were sort of bland. TIP: try rolling them like a meat ball if you don’t have a cookie scoop. They came out smooth and round that way. The dough is very heavy and sticky (but tasty). Try keeping them an inch in diameter if you roll them. One cookie goes a long way!
The cookies are so tender they almost melt in your mouth. They are not too sweet which is lovely. I will be making them again, but I think I will use a slightly different icing next time.
I give them a 4 for flavor. The flavor is great. However they aren’t cookies. They are little dense cakes. I enjoy eating them but know if I will make the recipe again.
Absolutely delicious! Blend of flavors is perfect and they came out very soft. Will be making again soon.
I made these this afternoon, and they were wonderful! I’ve never had them before, but they are almost like a little teacake. Recipe went together very easily!
I love the flavor of almond and lemon. So, I thought this recipe would be ideal. I followed the recipe exactly as written. They looked came out looking just like the photo. The texture and taste of these cookies were NOT what I expected. My husband took one bite and that was enough. I'll keep looking.
My family loved these cookies. Not too sweet, just right. I did not make any changes to the recipe.
