• A cross between a cookie and a cake: Marranitos are known for their distinctive texture, which is softer and more cake-like than a typical cookie, but firmer than a standard bread.
• Iconic pig shape: True to their name, which translates to "little pigs," these pastries are cut into the shape of a pig using a cookie cutter. The tradition is believed to date back to the 16th century, when the Spanish introduced pigs to Mexico.
• A favorite with coffee or milk: As a type of pan dulce (sweet bread), marranitos are a staple in Mexican bakeries.
• While available year-round, marranitos are especially popular during holidays like Christmas and Day of the Dead
