This is a very good basic cookie. It is good plain but it lends itself well to being glazed. I made up a blueberry glaze for mine. You could put whatever flavor glaze or frosting on them that you wanted. I think even chocolate would be good. You can't even taste the ricotta cheese so don't be afraid of it. It is a nice tender cookie.
