3. To get a classic Viennese cookie, give it a zigzag appearance using a pastry bag with a "star" nozzle. Extrude the future cookies at some distance from each other, because during the baking process it increases significantly in width.

4. The Viennese biscuits are baked at a temperature of 170 ° C for 15 minutes until slightly golden in color.
