Pittsburgh Group Bakes 83,000 Cookies in Bid for Largest Christmas Cookie Exchange

Organizers now plan to petition record keepers to create a category for official recognition.

Overview

  • The total was announced Tuesday after a coordinated bake that brought together local and remote teams.
  • The Wedding Cookie Table Community on Facebook, which has nearly 400,000 members, organized the effort.
  • Participation included 32 teams across the Pittsburgh area and 35 groups from elsewhere in the U.S. and abroad, including New Zealand.
  • Organizers intend to work with Guinness World Records to establish a largest Christmas cookie exchange category and submit evidence.
  • The project builds on Pittsburgh’s wedding cookie table tradition, with organizer Laura Magone crediting grandmothers—“bubbas” and “nonnas”—for the heavy lifting.
