1½cupsfresh ricotta
2tbspconfectioner’s sugar
1tsplemon zest,finely grated
Preparation
In a bowl, whisk both flours with the cinnamon, salt, and cloves. In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle, beat the butter, light brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar at medium speed until fluffy.
Beat in the honey and molasses. Scrape down the side of the bowl and beat in the flour mixture at low speed, just until incorporated. Pat the dough into a disk, cover with plastic, and refrigerate for about 1 hour until firm.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough ⅛ inch thick. Using a 3½-inch oval cookie cutter, stamp out 16 ovals; reroll the dough scraps if necessary.
Transfer the ovals to the baking sheets and bake for about 12 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through, until lightly golden around the edges.
Let cool on the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer the ovals to racks to cool completely.
In a bowl, toss the strawberries with the remaining sugar and the lemon juice. Let stand until syrupy. This will take about 20 minutes.
In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta, confectioners’ sugar, and lemon zest. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the ricotta mixture on each oval.
Arrange the strawberries over the ricotta, drizzle with the syrup, and serve.
