Nena Cookies
Crispy corn cookies filled with vanila ice cream and mexican dulce de leche. Delicious!
Dish story
Nena Cookies are one of the most iconic desserts from Guadalajara, Jalisco. They became famous through Pastelería Marisa, where generations of locals grew up enjoying these sweet treats filled with dulce de leche.
Their appeal lies in their simplicity: two crisp cookies joined by a generous filling that combines sweetness, texture and tradition. Over the years they have become a true symbol of Jalisco's pastry culture.
Cutzamala version
Our version keeps the spirit of the original while using crisp corn flour cookies, served with vanilla ice cream and traditional goat's milk cajeta. A simple, comforting and highly addictive dessert inspired by one of Guadalajara's most beloved sweet classics.
Main ingredients
Cajeta is one of Mexico's most iconic sweets. It is traditionally made by slowly cooking goat's milk until it develops a rich caramel flavour and creamy texture. Its origins are closely linked to the state of Guanajuato, where it remains one of the country's most celebrated specialties.
