Although everything was beautiful, the highlight of a recent wedding I attended was the endless amount of cookies. I can count at least 12 varieties in this picture alone, but there had to be more than 20 kinds continuously replenished at the dessert table all night.

It was truly a legendary feat by the mother and aunt of the bride, who must have been baking cookies for nearly a month. The only problem: sickness induced by washing down too many of these treats with open-bar alcohol. Ughhhhhhh.

A couple of my favorites were:

The Mouse

• Hershey’s Kiss face
• Almond ears
• Oreo base
• Chocolate-covered cherry body and tail

The Hamburger

• Shortbread bun with real sesame seeds
• Frosting condiments
• Mint chocolate cookie burger patty
