Meet a new and exciting, melt in your mouth cookie… Coconut Lime Ricotta Cookies! They are purely divine! To put them in words, just imagine an Italian cookie meets a refreshing tropical or Latin cake doughnut (that was my thought, my husband said they remind him of Alfajore cookies). If you want to be a good cook I firmly believe you have to be willing to take risks in the kitchen. It’s about stepping out of your comfort zone and trying new things, mixing new flavors. One of my dreams and aspirations is to be a great cook (on the Food Network may I add =), so this recipe is the result of me trying something daring and exciting in the kitchen. I knew it would either be an utter failure or something spectacular. I’m proud to say they turned out to be the later, they are completely spectacular. Someone please tell me, how do I stop myself from eating five at once? The combination of flavors in this cookie may be one that you question with the Ricotta cheese combine with coconut and lime, I myself questioned it (before trying them) but you wouldn’t believe how well all the flavors blend together! And don’t worry, you don’t really taste the Ricotta cheese. It’s not like this is a lasagna cookie. It just gives these cookies a wonderful texture. Never tried Ricotta cookies before? Then I must say this is the Ricotta cookie recipe you’re going to want to try! If you’re wondering what to do with the remaining 7.5 oz of Ricotta (if you bought a 15 oz container), double the batch of cookies or make half of a batch of Manicotti.
