Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
1
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
3
Add eggs one at a time, then mix in ricotta, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth.
4
Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients until just combined. The dough will be soft.
5
Using a small cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
6
Bake for 12–14 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly golden and centers are just set. Cool completely on a wire rack.
7
Whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth. Dip tops of cooled cookies or spoon glaze over them.

Before glaze sets, sprinkle with red and green sugar or holiday sprinkles for a festive finish.
