Interesting. I just made these again and they rose beautifully. I checked all my notes and they use baking powder as I have listed.

I think this recipe is supposed to have baking soda in it because these did not rise and are flat. I looked at every other recipe for lemon ricotta cookies and they all have baking soda in them. So that just must be the key to my flat cookies.

Thanks for stopping by! They are extremely delicious! These are all gone already, I am going to have to make more for Christmas!

It sure would be easier if there was only one system for measure. Glad you were able to sort it out, and very glad to hear you liked the cookies. Thanks for sharing!

I just made these….and boy oh boy what a pain to try and find out how 15 ounces related to cups. My package of ricotta from our local organic cheesery was 400 grams. 15 ounces equals 1.875 cups. LOL. So there I was, trying to fit the ricotta into a cup measurement, making a total mess and trying to figure out how to do 1.875 cups for the second one. Soooooooo…..I just put the whole 400 grams in the recipe and it turned out GREAT. 🙂 Lovely cookies btw, they are going to our family cookie bake and exchange on Satuday and I’ll be saving this recipe to make again and again.
