Viennese Treats

Delicious treats from Austria's capital

Ingredients

• 125 g butter
• 125 g corn starch
• 75 g flour
• 50 g powdered sugar
• a pinch of salt
• seeds from half of a vanilla bean

Additionally: - chocolate, mocha beans or similar for the filling

Instructions

Combine all ingredients and kneed by hand. Shape the dough into small balls of 7 gram and fill the cookies for example with a chocolate mocha bean. Bake for about 10 minutes at 350°F (180°C). Once you can see small cracks on top, they’re ready.

Let them cool and decorate with a chocolate grid if desired. I like using a variety of fillings and dress the cookies with both white and dark chocolate.

Tip: Instead of corn starch you can also use potato starch. Note that with potato starch, the cookies will keep their original shape in the oven.
