Orange Cranberry Ricotta Cookies

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup softened butter

1 cup ricotta cheese

zest of one orange

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup dried cranberries (Craisins)

Beat everything together except for the cranberries. Stir them in last. Drop blobs of dough onto parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. If you’d like, you could mix up some powdered sugar with a few drops of orange extract and bit of milk and drizzle over the tops of the cookies after they’ve cooled. Or you could dust with a little powdered sugar before serving, just to add a little oomph.
