It may be traditional for the bride and groom to cut a wedding cake when they have tied the knot, but their guests might also want to enjoy another dessert as well.

If this is the case, then couples in Pittsburgh in the US may have the perfect solution.

According to the New York Times, it is traditional for mothers, grandmothers and aunts of the happy couple to bake hundreds of biscuits for the big day.

Ranging from Italian wedding cookies and peanut butter blossoms to biscotti, these delicious treats are all placed on a large table and guests tuck in, no matter where the reception is being held.

The news provider says that "on the big day, hungry guests ravage the buffet, piling plates high and packing more in takeout containers so they can have them for breakfast the next day".

Savvy Scoop recently suggested that mini boxes of chocolates can make great wedding favours, so couples could also use cookies as a parting gift for their friends and family.
