Adrienne's Lemon Ricotta Cookies with Lemon Glaze

I'm not trying to confuse you, but this recipe was given to me by my friend Adrienne (this is Adrianne). We're both part of the large network of APX wives here in Louisville. All of us decided to have a recipe swap earlier this week, so I now have an arsenal of delicious recipes to try once we move home next week (Meaning, I better see some of you at the Goodrich reunion next weekend). I haven't tried this recipe myself, but Adrienne brought some over to me, and they were DELICIOUS. I snarfed it in seconds!!
I will definitely be adding more recipes as I try the ones that have been given to me!
