When I was a little boy (a long time ago) my mother would send me to the Otterbein's on Fort Avenue for baked goods. We enjoyed the buns and other treats.

I worked at Otterbein's at LR and NP when I was a teen. One of my fav jobs! Didn't know all the history, tho. Thx!

The Burger cookies look like the cookies we would get in Germany. If I recall they are like the cookies in the Lebkuchen tins made in Nuremberg.

[@baltimoreheritage1006]

Cool!

[@maryannetom8615]

Did they have fudge on them like our Berger's cookies?

Johns, Mary, & Molly: Thanks for another informative video about Baltimore! I wish that I had known about the Union Square annual cookie tour when I lived in Laurel, MD, because it sounds like a fun event.

[@baltimoreheritage1006]

Have you done one on Sailors Union Grace church ?

[@baltimoreheritage1006]

I don't think so! We'll add it to our list.

Is something wrong with the term: "Christmas Cookie"?! Woke "Holiday" Cookie smh.

[@baltimoreheritage1006]

We like to eat them on New Year's too.
