Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Look for organic, unbleached flour, real butter, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and the insides will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will take too long to bake and they will be dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will help them set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Vienna tea cookies are a delicious and classic treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite flavors. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect Vienna tea cookies every time.
