Hello Pati,

I made these today New Year’s 2013, and they were fantastic!!!! My family loved them. I followed your recipe exactly on measurements. I will add, that I simmered the piloncillo and cinnamon stick nice and slow, until I smelled the aroma of the cinnamon. Although the cookies were gingermen shaped, the flavor was still outstanding.
Thank you so much for the great recipe.
Graciela

Hola Tanina, I got the piggy cookie cutters a long time ago in Mexico. But they sell copper, hand made cookie cutters just like them online and in all different sizes too. I hope this helps!

After watching your show, I am looking forward to making these yummy sounding cookies. Where did you get the incredibly cute piggy cookie cutters in three different sizes please?

Hi Pati,
I’ve made these cookies several times and I think they’re delicious. I’d never heard of piloncillo before your show – I found some for this recipe and it gives them an interesting mild molasses-y flavor. Love your show- I’m making the tomatillo lime jam this weekend.

Hola Elvia, Thank you for your comment. I have tested and tried soooo many recipes for these cookies, and this is the one I tweaked and tweaked and like the best! But we all have different palates. So, I encourage you to make the adjustments to the recipe, try less of both, they will be less fluffy, but probably more to your liking

Oh Pati!
I made these tonight and was looking forward to the piloncillo flavor. I didn’t taste it as much as I would have liked. I did taste a lot of baking soda and baking powder and I double checked my measurements. The taste overall was too much baking soda and baking powder with some sweetness. Wawawa’. Sorry Pati.
