Chris and I have always been big fans of lemon desserts, and these Gluten Free Lemon Ricotta Cookies are one of our favourites. They’re soft, slightly cake-like, and have just the right balance of sweetness and fresh lemon flavour. If you love citrus as much as we do, these cookies are bound to become a new go-to treat.
One of the best parts about this recipe is that it makes good use of leftover ricotta. Instead of letting that half container sit in the fridge, you can bake it into something light, bright, and irresistibly delicious. The ricotta keeps the cookies moist and tender, while the lemon zest and juice bring a fresh, tangy finish that makes them perfect for spring, summer, or honestly, any time of year.
Whether you enjoy them with a cup of tea in the afternoon or share them at a gathering, these cookies are simple, refreshing, and a wonderful twist on a classic.
