How to Make Spiced Pumpkin Ricotta Cookies with Caramel Icing
The full recipe is at the bottom of this post.
Preheat oven to 375F.
First, make the cookie batter. Start with creaming the butter in a ” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>cookie sheets in a 375F oven for 15 min or so. Insert a toothpick to ensure they’re done. Cool completely before icing.
Second, make the icing. This caramel icing was adapted from Sally’s Baking Addiction Salted Caramel Frosting. In a 1 qt sauce pan on med heat, melt butter. Add brown sugar and constantly stir it until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Add two tbsp of heavy cream and stir until well incorporated. Let cool for 20 min.
Next, put caramel mixture into a mixing bowl and add powdered sugar. Stir in 3 more tbsp of heavy cream. Mix until well combined.
Last, spread the caramel icing on each cookie and drizzle with caramel ice cream topping. Store cookies in an Spiced Pumpkin Ricotta Cookies with Caramel Icing
Yes! I have them frosted in the freezer right now.
If you freeze these, can they be frozen after frosting them?
Thanks Antonia.
Ha ha, I like the way your little boy thinks! If we could only have one for the kitchen! Your cookies look divine! Thank you for sharing your yummy cookies at the party! Happy Fiesta Friday!
Thanks Monika.
These look so yummy! Just so happens that my recent cake recipe was also made with pumpkin and ricotta – it came out pretty good. Happy Halloween and thank you for sharing with FF. Pinned!
Very unique! Sounds delish!
The icing adds a little extra goodness.
Thanks Kat. The icing is a nice enhancement.
Thanks Ronnie. It is a nice moist and flavorful cookie.
These sound delicious! I love the addition of the icing on top!
Pumpkin season is not too far off and we will be thinking all “Fall” things. Love that time of the year and we are experiencing a taste of it right now with temps in the mid 60’s. Needless to say your cookies look special – like the ricotta addition. Happy FF and have a nice weekend.
I love the combination of pumpkin and salted caramel. These cookies are so perfect for an autumn brunch. Will keep it in mind for Thanksgiving. 🙂
Wow! Those look awesome. I love pumpkin flavored desserts. I guess it is getting that time of the year right? Anyways I came over from the Fiesta Friday Link Party #187! I also pinned this recipe on my Pinterest board called Desserts-shared.
Thanks for sharing,
Ronnie
