ITALIAN COOKIES

2 c. sugar 2 sticks melted butter 15 oz. ricotta cheese 3 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla 4 c. all-purpose flour 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking soda

Mix sugar, butter, ricotta, eggs and vanilla until combined. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt and baking soda. Gradually add flour mixture to ricotta mixture until combined. Flour hands and roll small balls of dough like meatballs (the dough will be very moist).

Place dough balls 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes until edges are slightly brown. Tops will not be brown. Ice with icing and top with sprinkles while warm. (Icing: 1 cup confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk - add more milk for thin icing.) Store in an air-tight container when cool.
