I've already written code that generates about 20 notebooks using "CreateDocument" and I was wondering if there exists a method to automatically save them. Is there an easy way to create a notebook and save it programatically, i.e. without manually saving the notebook?

NotebookSave is your friend, it's usage is quite straightforward:
nb = CreateDocument[{"hello"}];
NotebookSave[nb, FileNameJoin[{$HomeDirectory, "Desktop", "tst.nb"}]]
If you didn't save the NotebookObject that CreateDocument returns to a variable you can use Notebooks[] to get that, the following is an example that selects by WindowTitle:
nb = Select[Notebooks[],
AbsoluteCurrentValue[#, WindowTitle] === "Untitled-1" &][[1]]
