INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 1 ¼ cups packed brown sugar
    • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
    • 🌰 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
    • 6 cups all-purpose flour

  • Wet Ingredients

    • ¼ cup shortening
    • 🥚 1 egg
    • 🥛 ¼ cup milk
    • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1 cup unsulfured molasses
    • 🥚 1 egg, beaten

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

2

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

3

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 tops of the cookies with beaten egg.

4

Bake cookies in the preheated oven until risen and edges are lightly browned, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool briefly on cookie sheets; serve warm or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
