Marías are a type of traditional Mexican cookie, often enjoyed as a snack or dessert. They are typically round, lightly sweet, and have a crisp texture. Marías are commonly made with simple ingredients like flour, sugar, and butter, and are sometimes flavored with vanilla. They are often served with milk or used as a base for desserts. These cookies are popular in many Latin American countries and are known for their versatility. In addition to being eaten plain, Marías can be crushed and used as a topping for ice cream or incorporated into various recipes, such as cheesecakes and desserts.
