Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ cups piloncillo, or dark brown sugar
½ cup water
2 cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons cinnamon
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the piloncillo and water to a small saucepan over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes, until the sugar is completely dissolved and big brown bubbles form. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon into a large bowl.
  • Add the butter and mash into the flour with a fork until combined. Add the orange zest and stir to incorporate.
  • Push the dry ingredients to the sides of the bowl to make a well. Add the vanilla, 1 egg, and cooled piloncillo syrup to the center. Using a fork, slowly mix the dry ingredients into the center until everything is evenly combined.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
  • Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to a rectangle about ¼ inch (6 ½ mm) thick. Re-roll any dough scraps and cut out more cookies.
  • Using a 2½-inch (6 ½ cm) pig cookie cutter, cut out cookies and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Beat the remaining egg, then brush over the cookies.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool before serving.
  • Enjoy!
