Melindros are very popular in Spain, they are similar to a cookie but with a cake-like texture. The tradition is to dip the melindro into hot chocolate. In Spain, the texture of hot chocolate is much thicker, more like a pudding and its spooned, not sipped.
The recipe for these melindros is very easy. By themselves, they’re good, but they are much better when you dip them in hot chocolate.
