Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° F (177°C).

Step 2

Combine the softened butter and sugar in a medium-sized bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until well combined, 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the egg yolk, ricotta, and ⅛ teaspoon of the vanilla and continue beating until well mixed.

Step 4

Add the flour and baking powder to the bowl and mix on low speed until dough starts to form.

Step 5

Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough onto a baking sheet lined with silpat or parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the bottom of the cookies are golden.

Step 6

Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
