 @b870d4c8 They look so great! Does ‘kakor’ just mean something like cookie? 
 @a284283e yes, a kaka is a cake, from the same old root as 'cake' and it means both biscuits/cookies and also (dense) cakes. Bondkakor means literally farmers' biscuits, with the implication they are simple and rustic :) 
 @b870d4c8 Thank you. You are such a treasure trove of linguistic delights! 😃
