Contributing to the Cookie Table
Thank you so much for being willing to contribute to our cookie table! A cookie table is a beloved Pittsburgh wedding tradition, featuring Italian, Polish, and other immigrant-inspired cookies like pizzelles, kolaches, and lady locks. We'd love to have you make a family recipe, or a recipe that's meaningful to you, but we'll also have a list of cookies for you to choose from if you'd like help deciding what to
make! Reach out to Patience to talk all things cookie table
Cookie Table Tips:
-
Be sure to check in with Patience about the type and quantity of cookies you're bringing
-
Be prepared to label your cookies to indicate whether they contain any common allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, sesame) or any non-vegetarian ingredients (lard or gelatin)
-
The expectation for most cookies is that they will be vegetarian but they may include, butter, eggs, or wheat flour
-
We hope that those of you who are confident in accommodating dietary restrictions in your baking will contribute some delicious vegan and/or gluten-free cookies!
-
-
When in doubt, make the cookies smaller, that way people can try more!
-
We will not have staff to plate the cookies. Please bring your cookies on a plastic platter or tray that you would be willing to part with at the end of the night. If you have any cake stands or tiered platters, these would be very appreciated!
-
If you are bringing cookies, please enter through the side entrance of the church through the parking lot and take the cookies to the refectory before the ceremony
