orange ricotta cookies

I spied this recipe the other day and have been craving to make it. Being that we are now in Sicily, land where fresh ricotta and citrus this time of year are in abundance I thought it the perfect time to put this orange ricotta cookie recipe to the test!
Let me tell you, they did not fail!!! These cake like cookies are the perfect mixture of orange, soft and delicate, dark chocolate to top it all off! YUMMY! If you like those chocolate oranges that often fill our stockings at Christmas time, you will LOVE these cookies!

We are going to be hanging out with our Sicilian family in Ragusa for another week or so before heading to the other side of the island, Palermo. I will have pictures and stories to post later, but as for now... find some time for the above mentioned cookies!

PS did you see this story???

Last Day

Today, the last day of 2009 we spent hanging out at the sea side.

The water was cold, but the sun warmed us quickly!

Sun, Sand, END of a Great Year!!!

HAPPY 2009, WELCOME 2010 to you and yours!
