Molasses Cookies (Lard Recipe) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup lard
    1 tablespoon baking soda
    1 pint molasses
    1 cup sour milk (see description for more info)
    1 cup brown sugar
    5 cups flour
    2 eggs, in separate bowls
Preparation
    There were no directions given with the recipe other than to bake 10-12 minutes, so these are my best guess.
    Heat oven to 350 degrees F. You may need to adjust here or there.
    Cream lard, and brown sugar together.
    Mix in 1 egg, molasses, and sour milk.
    Add slowly flour and baking soda.
    Either drop by teaspoons or make little balls.
    Beat second egg in separate bowl and brush over the tops before baking.
    Bake 10-12 minutes.
