1. Preheat oven to 400°.Grease 2 cookie sheets or line with parchment paper. In a food processor, blend together the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, 5 to 10 seconds. Add the butter and process to a mealy mixture, 45 to 50 seconds. Add the milk and vanilla. Process until the dough comes together in a ball.
2. Remove the dough and form into a flat disk with your hands. Chill the dough in the refrigerator 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.) Dust both sides lightly with flour and roll out on a lightly floured work surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. With a pig-shape cookie cutter, cut out cookies and place on cookie sheets. Gather the scraps and re-roll to make a few more cookies. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned. (Rotate the cookie sheet on the oven racks midway through for even baking.)
3. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, stir together the confectioners' sugar, the milk, and the vanilla until well blended.
4. When the cookies are done, leave them on the sheets and brush them lightly with glaze while they are still hot. Transfer to racks. When cool, store, covered, at room temperature, 3 to 5 days, or freeze in a sealed plastic freezer bag 3 to 4 weeks.
