I tried my hand at making them over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised at how easy they were to make. The boy quite enjoyed them as well, but had never heard of snickerdoodles before...I'm assuming they're a North American cookie!
All of the baking got me thinking about our UK reception. Maybe it would be a cute idea to have some 'North American' type cookies for the British guests to sample. But is it feasible to whip up many several dozen cookies in the 2 weeks between our return from honeymoon and our UK reception?Perhaps it is doable...Lisa (from Blush) and her Mom made over 1000 cookies in 15 varieties for her guests. Aren't they just gorgeous? The tags on the boxes even acted as escort cards! Be sure to check out the rest of her wonderful wedding DIY!
Maybe it is a bit of a pipe dream, but at least it will allow me to rationalize the purchase of several large Sota jars from Ikea, which my inner tight-wad has been vetoing for months. I will of course be making my Mom's oatmeal chocolate-chip cookies. Any suggestions for typical North American (easy-to-bake) cookies?

Hi Sarah,
what a lovely surprise to pop in on your blog and see the cookie pictures from our wedding! - that's the first time that has happened. So thanks! Love your blog, just wanted to say hi - and let you know I've linked to you. You inspired a new link section to "real brides".
Am I a bad Canadian, I don't know what a snickerdoodle is? Do they have rice krispie squares in the UK? They were a hit when Jen and I made them in Oz and the Aussies had never heard of them before! Plus they are super easy to make in large quantities. :)
1. I had a cookie buffet and it was a HUGE hit. My mom, MIL, and grandma made a ridiculous amount of cookies and they were so freaking good. I have pictures in my wedding bio.
2. I love that you used the phrase "inner tight wad"! I can SO relate.
Megs - great idea on the rice krispie squares. I made them once and the Brits loved them. I'll have Mom make you some snickerdoodles when you're next back home...
Julia - thanks for the reminder of your cookies, and I most definitely stole the 'inner tight wad' phrase from your blog :)
