Light Citrus Cookies with Flower of the Ocean Sea Salt
Makes: 3 dozen cookies
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 small pinch of cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon Fine ground Celtic Sea Salt
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 stick unsalted butter, softenened
3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice
1 lemon, zested
1 lime, zested
1 teaspoon Flower of the Ocean Sea Salt

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, and Fine ground Celtic Sea Salt. Set aside.

Using an electric mixer beat the butter and sugar until combined and fluffy, for 2 minutes in a medium sized bowl. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until incorporated. Add the ricotta cheese, lemon and lime juice, and lemon and lime zest. Beat to combine. Stir in the dry ingredients.

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Spoon the dough (about 2 tablespoons for each cookie) onto the baking sheets. Sprinkle the tops with Flower of the Ocean sea salt. Bake for 15 minutes, until they are no longer shiny and the edges are light golden color. Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 20 minutes.
