If you make these, serve them as occasional treats. If you ever travel to Austria, ask for the real thing and you can be assured, unless they change the original recipe, that there will be no salt, baking powder, or baking soda included. But, always ask. The Austrians like to put a glaze on these cookies although I prefer them without the glaze.
