For the best flavor, use high-quality ricotta cheese. Whole milk ricotta will result in a richer, more tender cookie. Do not overmix the dough, as this can result in tough cookies. Mix until just combined. The cookies are delicate when warm, so be sure to let them cool on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack. Store the iced cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
