Method
Dough Preparation
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
Cream Butter and Eggs
In another bowl, melt the unsalted butter and allow it to cool slightly. Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding the vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Filling Preparation
Combine Filling Ingredients
In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, orange zest, and cinnamon until smooth and creamy.
Assemble and Bake
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop tablespoons of dough and flatten them slightly. Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each cookie, then fold the dough over to enclose the filling, pinching the edges to seal.
Bake
Place the stuffed cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow them to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Glazing
Prepare Glaze
In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top of each cookie.
