The Pittsburgh cookie table · Pittsburgh

A wedding tradition where families bake hundreds of dozens of cookies for a vast communal dessert spread. Less a single dish than a Pittsburgh ritual rooted in Italian and Eastern European baking.

The cookie table is a uniquely Pittsburgh wedding custom with Italian and Eastern European roots, in which extended families bake dozens upon dozens of cookies (pizzelle, lady locks, thumbprints, kolache) for a sprawling reception spread that often rivals the cake. The tradition is strongest in the Mon Valley mill towns and is documented as a regional signature; bakeries like Prantl's and Gaby et Jules supply cookies when families want backup.
