TOD: In a word: Mom's.
This Christmas she sent a few of my favorites: Zimmsterne (cinnamon stars), Springerle (an anise cookie that gets better with time, so I haven't touched those yet), coconut merengues, chocolate surprise cookies (the surprise is a marshmallow baked into a chocolate peanut butter cookie and then glazed with a mocha frosting), cream cheese cookies and gingerbread.
