Marranitos

A tasty gingerbread-like cookie from Mexico.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup ( ~40g ) shortening
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup ( 60ml ) milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg (beaten)

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 350F (175C)

  • In a large bowl, cream together brown sugar and shortening until smooth. Mix in 1 egg, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the baking soda, cinnamon, and molasses. Mix in flour until the dough is stiff enough to roll out.

  • Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into cookies using a pig shaped cookie cutter. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Brush the remaining beaten egg over the tops of the cookies.

  • Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the centers of the cookies appear dry and edges are lightly browned.

  • Let the cookies cool for 5-7 minutes. Enjoy!
