Another question ladies coming from a non-native Pittsburgher. We’re having a cookie table (of course), but I haven’t been able to find any kind of definitive list online that says what types of cookies have to be included. The only thing I figure is that they generally have to be fancy Italian cookies. My Fiance has said pizelles and ladylocks and that’s about as far as he gets with actual names for cookies. I think there are ones that look like they have a big hershey kiss in the center. Help? Thanks!

There’s no rules about what HAVE to be included. Generally, the ladies in my family all have their “specialty” and they make those for the various family weddings. But I’ve seen everything from pizzelles and ladyfingers to chocolate chips and peanut butter blossoms (the ones with the kisses in the middle). I’d just get whatever you guys love to eat! Good luck!

My mom doesn’t have a ‘signature cookie’ so she made chocolate chip cookies for my brother’s cookie table – and they were the only cookie completely gone at the end of the night!

we had all kinds. Ladylocks, bubkeyes, pizelles, thumbprints, peaches (look like real peaches), butter balls, pizelles rolls with cream in the middle, nuthorns, chocolate chips, cheesecake cups….
there are no rules for what kinds of cookies to have. Pick whatever you want!

Thanks so much! Good to know that chocolate chip cookies are “allowable.” I had gotten the impression somehow that those would be too simple somehow!

Go with whatever sounds good to you! My husband is from Youngstown, and some of the cookies we’ve had at weddings from that area have included things like pizzelles, butterballs, peanut butter blossums (the ones with the hershey kiss in the middle), buckeyes, ladylocks, sugar cookies (with icing in the color of the theme of the wedding), etc.
I’m getting hungry!
