Makes about 50

For the cookies: 
1 cup butter, softened 
2 cups granulated sugar 
1 (15 ounce) container of ricotta cheese 
3 teaspoons vanilla extract 
1 teaspoon salt 
1 teaspoon baking soda 
4 cups all-purpose flour 
 
For the glaze: 
1 cup powdered sugar 
milk 
sprinkles

Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix all of the cookie ingredients well until the dough sticks together into a big ball. It will be sticky. Drop by teaspoonfulls on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes or until the bottoms turn golden brown. Let cool for 1 minute and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. In a small saucepan slowly stir milk into the powdered sugar until it creates a glaze thin enough to be spread over the cookies. Stir over low heat then spread over cooled cookies. Quickly top with sprinkles.
