Yes, and a few other types of cookies. My mother also made mince pies and a wonderful fruitcake both of which my daughter continues to make. One of my uncles baked stollen and gave it out among family.
My mother's large family always got together for Boxing Day, the day after Christmas, as well. My mother's mother was English/Scottish and her father was by trade a baker and 100% German so she absorbed traditions from both ancestral cultures.
Some of her sisters served sauerkraut as a side dish at both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners - yuk!
