Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Use real butter, not margarine, and use a good quality vanilla extract.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the cookies, making them light and airy.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Viennese tea cookies are a delicious and elegant treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with different flavors and toppings. With a little practice, you'll be able to make these cookies like a pro!
