Thanks for your fast reply!… But I couldn’t wait so I made them with the almond extract I had at home (which is from bitter almonds) and they turned out delicious!! We don’t have (in Sweden) the kind of sugar sprinkles you used so I used what we have (if yours look like ice in the color, ours look like snow – does that explanation make sense?) but I will have to find something else to use since it looks kind of weird I can send you a picture if you want to see the outcome.
However, Thank You So Much For The Recipe! I totally love it. I like the idea of combining the sweet with the not so sweet. Love it!

Nina, the almond extact is a bottled flavoring (like vanilla extract). I believe it’s made from regular almonds.

Hi!
I have been thinking for a long time that one should be able to make cookies seasoned with black pepper (I love course black pepper!) and happily I found your recipe, so I thought I’d try this recipe but I have one question: is it almond extract from bitter almonds of from “regular” almonds that you use in the recipe? Since I am in Sweden I will do a version of this recipe (keeping it real as much as possible considering the difference in measurements and ingredients available).
Best, Nina
