How to make
Beat the lard with a mixer for 30 seconds. Add the sugar, ginger, baking powder and baking soda, beat well. Add the molasses, milk and egg.
While mixing, add flour, as you need for it, add more if necessary, stir with a wooden spoon. Divide the dough into three parts, cover and leave in the refrigerator for about 3 hours.
Roll out one third of the dough on a floured surface until you get a layer with a thickness of 1/2″ (1 cm). Using metal cookie cutters, cut out cookies and put them 1 apart from each other in an oiled oven dish. Repeat this process with the remaining dough.
Bake for 6-7 minutes at 390°F (200 °C) or until the edges harden and become slightly browned. Allow them to cool on a cooking grid.
