Marranitos (Mexican Pig-Shaped Cookies)

Submitted by: nmcowgirl

Home Town: Carlsbad, New Mexico, USA

Living In: Hagerman, New Mexico, USA

Marranitos (or cochinos, or puerquitos, as are they are called in some Mexican-American communities) are often called 'Gingerbread Pigs,' although they don't actually have ginger in them - and no cinnamon either. In fact, traditional marranitos get their delicious spicy-brown goodness from molasses. This recipe is a trans-pecos region variation, it uses the non-traditional addition of cinnamon. You may wish to try also adding a bit of dry ground ginger, and you may use a milk wash instead of an egg wash.
