Ricotta and lemon cookies cooked in a pan, one of my favorite combinations… they are treats to savor: ricotta and lemon pair perfectly. Very convenient and practical especially in the summer when on hot and muggy days you don’t want to turn on the oven, but you don’t want to miss having some delicious cookies at home.
Ricotta makes these treats very soft and the lemon aroma will fill your kitchen with a delightful fragrance.
