Viennese Cookies

We're off on a trip right now, up in California wine country. It's raining today and verrrry cold. It even snowed not many miles up the road, and that's really unusual for this area. Don't know that I'll get any photos of anything! So I went through some of my old photos and am posting a few, until I get back into my kitchen.

This is a plate full of delicious - absolutely delicious - cookies we had while we were in Vienna about 7 weeks ago. Our friends picked these up at a bakery there and DH and I ate them all. Buttery crumbly. None of that shortening kind of taste. All pure butter, I'm certain. Many dipped in chocolate, or almonds, or both.
