Directions:
- Place the piloncillo in a small saucepan with 1 cup water, star anise, and cinnamon.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Remove saucepan from heat and allow to cool completely, stirring the mixture as it cools so that the sugar dissolves.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Whisk together cloves, ginger, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix in the shortening (or lard) and strain the piloncillo syrup in until the mixture comes together to form a dough.
- Divide the dough in half.
- Working with half the mixture at a time, roll out to 1/3-inch thickness and cut out with a pig-shaped cookie cutter.
- Place the cookies to an ungreased baking sheet.
- Brush with the egg wash.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
- Cool on wire racks.
