Question
What's a Pittsburgh Cookie Table?
Answer
A cookie table is exactly what it sounds like: a table (or two!) filled with every kind of cookie and sweet you can think of. The tradition runs deep in the heart of Western Pennsylvania and is said to come from the Great Depression Era when guests tried to offset the cost of a wedding cake by bringing home-baked treats for the bride and groom. The tradition most likely started in Italian and other European immigrant communities where both families came together to support the happy couple. Often times cookies are baked with the couple in mind and include family recipes. At the end of the night, guests are provided with bags or boxes to take home extra treats to enjoy later. We invite our guests to bring any and all types of cookies if they are so inclined.
