Vienna Fingers are a cookie made by the Keebler Company. They consist of a vanilla flavored outer crust filled with vanilla cream flavored filling. In this way, a Vienna Finger can be likened to an Oreo. The cookies themselves come in a red, rectangular package with the words "Vienna Fingers" in white lettering.
