Been a busy gal between making baked goods gifts for neighbors and delivery folks coming to the house as well as regular customer orders.

I did do a second experimental batch of Marranitos, this time made with traditional Mexican piloncillo instead of brown sugar. This recipe doesn't use any ginger or molasses so they were much lighter in color. Good subtle flavor but I think in the future I'll hybridize the two recipes. Use piloncillo but with molasses and ginger too.

Tried my hand at making some #Marranitos today. You might think these are just gingerbread cookies shaped like a pig but their texture is quite a bit different from traditional gingerbread cookies.

These are more like a cross between a cookie and cake texture wise. These tasty little piggies are popular in Mexico and in Mexican American communities.

This recipe was good but am also going to try a more traditional recipe that uses piloncillo (Mexican cane sugar).
