Adding the flour and baking powder:
Preparation of the dough:
In a large bowl, mix the cottage cheese with the granulated sugar until creamy.
Add the egg and melted butter. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated.
If desired, add grated lemon zest for an additional aromatic touch.
Adding the flour and baking powder:
Sift the flour and baking powder directly over the ricotta dough.
Also add a pinch of salt.
Mix the ingredients with a spoon or spatula until a soft and homogeneous dough is formed. If the dough is too sticky, add a little flour.
Cookie shaping:
Take a little dough at a time and shape into walnut-sized balls (about 30g each).
Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a space between them.
