Hi all, I have a question regarding the name of some of the Christmas cookies in the image that I have attached. My Oma passed away this past January and this will be my family’s first Christmas without her, and she would always make these cookies as gifts. I was hoping to find the names and possibly recipes for these cookies to surprise my family with a similar gift.
I do know that the round almond cookies are Bethmännchen and I think that the crescents are chocolate dipped Vannillekipferl, but I am having a hard time finding anything about the cookies in the bottom half of the image.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Happy Holidays!

Looks like [Berliner Brot](https://www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/660441167839335/Berliner-Brot.html?utm_source=com.apple.UIKit.activity.CopyToPasteboard&utm_medium=Social%20Sharing%20CTA&utm_campaign=Sharing-iOS) 🙂
It would help tremendously if you described them a little more.
Were they hard? Crumbly? Buttery? Were they spiced?
To me that looks like Magenbrot/Honigkuchen, but I’m no cookie expert, I never even heard of Berliner Brot until I read the other comment :,)
Magenbrot does contain cocoa, but that’s just for the color. It’s made with cloves, nutmeg, star anise, honey and sometimes with some kind of nuts too I think.
