They made bread, cookies, and many different pastries. No not really. You would be more likely to find a opossum in the stew pot than cookies in the oven in Colonial Virginia. Venison, rabbit, fish and turkey were the staples and subsistence farming was not yet established to the point of feeding a family. Malnutrition and starvation were common in early colonial history and supply ships and Native-American generosity were needed for survival.
