I've got cookies going again today. This Saturday, our church is doing a ladies brunch/cookie exchange and since so many people brought chocolate chip last year, I'm bringing oatmeal cookies with cinnamon chips I went to 3 totally different stores yesterday (in two different towns) to find cinnamon chips! Those are all made up and done so I'm making one more type of cookie today. I picked up Andes mint chips yesterday so I'm doing chocolate almond cookies with Andes mint chips The dough looks and smells HEAVENLY!

Steps

• 1
  Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, stir flour, baking powder and salt.
• 2
  In large bowl, beat granulated sugar, softened butter, ricotta cheese and lemon peel with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until fluffy; scrape side of bowl. Beat in eggs, one at a time, just until smooth. Stir in vanilla. On low speed, beat flour mixture into sugar mixture until well blended. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
• 3
  Using floured fingers, shape dough into 54 (1-inch) balls; place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until set but not brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
• 4
  In small bowl, beat powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons lemon juice with spoon until smooth and spreadable. If frosting is too stiff to spread, add additional lemon juice, 1 teaspoon at a time. Tint with food color. Using knife, spread 1/2 teaspoon frosting on each cooled cookie; immediately top with sprinkles. Let stand about 30 minutes or until frosting is set. Store covered in airtight container at room temperature.

@BullChick Here's a recipe for Ricotta Cheese, can't help you with the lemon, sorry. You'll want to read through to the type of milk you have. There are several variations.

I would try cream cheese as a substitute versus those options.
