I guess it's obvious to people who know German. I understand how you made that and why it would be easy, but I'm going to tell you that I'd have never gotten it unless you told me to translate cookie into German. Ah well
It's not perfectly analogous, but close. For starters, the words were posted in Swedish, so Sweden was already part of the clue. I don't recall seeing anything about Germany in your hint. Also, you saw how much difficulty I had with that one, too.
