This is an old family recipe. The holidays wouldn't be the same without them!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These ricotta cheese cookies will be delicious on any dessert table or cookie plate. Soft and moist, there's a hint of vanilla flavor in the cookies. Ricotta cheese helps add moisture to the tender cookie. Golden raisins and walnuts add an extra layer of sweet and nutty flavor. These cookies will be delicious on any dessert table or cookie plate. We whipped up an easy glaze for half the cookies for a touch of sweetness and to add decorations.
