Grapefruit Ricotta Cookies

5 / 5 (1 reviews)

These Grapefruit Ricotta Cookies have just a subtle undertone of grapefruit flavor. For those who are a bit afraid of grapefruit's intensity, tang, and bitterness, these cookies are for you. They have all the flavor, but none of that bite!

I, too, know the pleasure of homemade ricotta. I made mine with fresh goat’s milk. It was always good but when a batch turned out particularly well, I could eat it like ice cream and would have to summon what little will power I had to stop eating. These cookies were great with store bought (no longer have goats) but you’ve inspired me to make my own ricotta, again. Thank you.
