Lemon cookies with cheese
Description
The baking is simple and quick. Make these cookies for tea, but be careful—you might eat the whole tray with just one cup. Use homemade or store-bought cottage cheese instead of ricotta. If you don't want to make lemon glaze, you can dust the cookies with powdered sugar or regular sugar. Serve warm or cooled. The baked goods are ready. Serve at the table.
