I saw pictures of this dessert when I was looking up Turkish cheeses (for another article) and I just had to make it. Fortunately, it turned out to have cheese in it, so I was able to justify my interest! Tim and Caroline Armstrong of Eugene, Oregon helped me with some of the translation and they contributed much of the recipe (the picture below was
Real Scottish Shortbread
We’re always thrilled when our friend, Maggie Parkinson from Poulsbo, Washington sends us one of her original recipes. Maggie is a cookbook author and a writer who LOVES to cook.

Iced Ricotta Cookies
This recipe was submitted to us by Susan O’Dwyer in Harrisville, New Hampshire. We interviewed Susan in 2014 (click here) after she had written as essay for our 35th Anniversary Essay Contest.
