Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
▢ ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (about 1 stick)
▢ 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
▢ 2 large eggs
▢ ¾ cup unsulfured molasses
▢ ¼ cup milk
▢ 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
▢ 5 cups all-purpose flour
▢ 2 tsp ground ginger
▢ 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
▢ 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter until smooth. Add the dark brown sugar and mix until well combined. Add in one egg, molasses, milk and vanilla extract. Mix together until smooth.
In a separate large bowl, add the flour, ground ginger, baking soda and cinnamon. Mix together to combine.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients 1 cup at a time and mix until well combined. The dough should cleanly pull away from the mixing bowl.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to 3/8 inch thickness (or a little less than 1/2 inch). Use a pig shaped cookie cutter like this one to cut into pigs. Place pigs 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Brush the remaining beaten egg over the tops of the cookies.
In a small bowl, crack open the remaining egg and whisk. Brush the beaten egg over the tops of the pigs using a pastry brush.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned.

This is not mom/grandma‘s recipe but she asked me to find her recipe because she loves these cookies and I did find it and she said she liked them and they were good.
