Viennese Cookies

4 servings

60 minutes

A very simple cookie, and apparently that's why it's so beloved in the post-Soviet space. Its origins are obscure, and it's probably called "Viennese" because it's covered with crumbs of grated dough, or streusel. True, it's a distinctive feature of German cuisine. Despite this hodgepodge, the recipe for grated pie — or a product that combines a layer of dough, a layer of jam or preserves, and a layer of grated dough — is firmly established in Soviet cookbooks.
