Wow! I just made these cookies and they are amazing!! I had to alter the ingredients a bit (butter instead or shortening, gluten free all-purpose flour instead of regular). This is now my favorite cookie recipe. Thank you so much! Yum…

Marianna there is no such thing as a ridiculous question! Nigella seeds is actually common in Indian cuisine — it is otherwise known as “Black Onion Seed”. It is indeed different from black sesame seeds — perhaps you could find regular sesame seeds as a substitute? Hope this helps

Thanks Kevin! I have to agree with you, black sesame has a great flavor in desserts I also love them ground into a sweet paste and then rolled in rice flour served with a sweet broth…mmm yum!

These look so interesting I’m gonna have to give them a try since I love the flavor of black sesames! About a month ago, I made black sesame macarons and those were delicious

Joy, these cookies are awesome! I’ve been keeping the recipe for a very long time and still under the list. Too many waiting for trying out! hehe… Very greedy LOL! I’m already 40! So, grey hair doesn’t really bother me much. I would dye occasionally though! haha…

I agree Christine .. I think my gray hair has always bothered my mother more than myself. She always says “AIYA you are so old!” and out she appears with a bucket of hair dye hahaha
