Cookie Table History
The Pittsburgh cookie table, a southwestern Pennsylvania tradition, is believed to have originated during the Great Depression. Like many nationwide, Pittsburghers struggled. Still life went on - couples married and often celebrated with a reception after the wedding ceremony. However, many Pittsburghers simply couldn't afford a wedding cake. Instead, legend goes, the mother of the bride, extended family, and closest friends gathered together and baked cookies from scratch with recipes passed down through generations. By the time Pittsburgh recovered from the Great Depression, the cookie table had become a treasured tradition.

This tradition fits in perfectly with how Marisa grew up too! From the traditional easter cookie everyone in her mom's family makes, to the wide variety of Christmas cookies made every year, to the 4 dozen cookies Marisa's Mom stress baked the night before she left for college, cookies have been a huge part of Marisa's life and relationship with her family. This tradition couldn't be more perfect to include in this special day!
