I haven't quite decided yet whether I'll pay by weight (roughly $23) or just a flat rate per unit (maybe $1.25)
I still need to hash out the details...

That’s what I was getting at...😁
I ended up grabbing some cookies from Trader Joe's—they claim they bake them in-house...
They’re honestly delicious, and they come tucked right into those little paper baskets... you just grab one, maybe two bites, and then... they're gone.
Simply wonderful.👍

Tom and Ana supposedly kill it too... I haven't tried them myself, but I’ve heard nothing but good things from basically everyone I know. I can't speak to the first place, and I'm not sure about the Lido spot either. Is that like the Lido Diner?
Because the diner actually stocks M&M cookies...
Who does the Lido Diner source from? M&M? What exactly is that?

After doing some digging and asking around, I think things are finally starting to make sense in my head...😵 It’s a bit of a tough call, so I’m planning to head out this Saturday to sample some treats. 🙂 But before I go, I was wondering if any of you could share your own experiences or maybe some intel regarding:
The local bakery downtown
The little cookie shop on the corner
The neighborhood pastry place
The old-school cookie stand
Price isn't really an issue for any of them, so my decision will ultimately come down to whoever has the best recommendation or whose stuff actually hits the spot once I taste it.
Thanks, ladies

Well, here I am again, dealing with more complications... 🙂
(as per usual)😛
My partner and I have been thinking... we really don't want the cookies just sitting out on the tables all night long. It feels wrong. We'd much prefer them served properly, you know, as a dessert after the main course. And honestly, we aren't interested in that whole "mountain of tiny bite-sized treats" situation where half of them are just cheap variations on a theme that nobody actually touches. Instead, we were thinking of ordering maybe five distinct types, but actual, substantial desserts—think things like gourmet brownies, decadent pastry squares, or fruit bars. Just high-quality pieces, even if there are fewer of them.
But here's the catch... most of the bakeries we're looking at specialize in those tiny little finger foods. If they even offer a dessert service, it’s usually through these upscale boutiques with absolutely insane prices, like $3.00 per piece. And we're planning for a wedding of 200 people!!
Do any of you have any bright ideas, or perhaps know of somewhere with more reasonable pricing? 😕
Also, I was wondering if anyone knows where one might find those clear, elegant cellophane bags—the kind used for packaging high-end truffles in fancy shops? I'd love to pair them with a fresh ribbon tied at the top... 😍
