I'm hosting a baby shower on Friday, so we're doing dainties and cookies and such.
What would you bring if you were me? Recipes earn you big time gold stars.
TYVM.
EDIT: I'm looking for suggestions for different cookies or dainties (squares/bars).
I suck at being specific.
Re: I'm all about food today.

that's not a dainty or cookie!
I'll edit my post to make that more clear.

I'm making some tonight with mini chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.
I also like pigs in a blanket for baby showers.
I agree with taco dip, but my super easy cheap way is to mix a packet of taco seasoning into a large tub of sour cream. Done.
EDIT: You can also make the cookies in a 13x9 pan, and then they're cookie bars.

a box of brownie mix
3 bars of chocolate that contain toffee bits (Hershey's Symphony Bars are recommended)
Make brownie mix according to package.
Pour 1/2 of mix into 9x11" pan,
cover with chocolate-toffee bars,
cover the chocolate bars with the rest of the brownie mix.
Bake according to package.
For some reason, the chocolate bars in the middle absolve all taint of brownie mix, and it's just heavenly.
Homemade marshmallows are also awesome.
We had mini-hot browns at the wedding and they were awesome. I haven't re-created them yet, but I'm pretty sure the chef took the little pastry crust shells (we can get them in the freezer case here), added some diced country ham and turkey, topped with a little mornay sauce, sprinkle on a smidge of shredded cheddar, and bake till gooey. Add crumbled bacon and diced tomato to the top.
Also, chicken salad on any sort of small toast/pastry crust type delivery device.

Directions
Directions:
make lemon (or other citrus) curd, chill in fridge until thick. Or just buy it in a jar.
Buy mini pastry cups.
Fill pastry cups with curd.
If you're fancy, you can make a meringue to put on top and brown in the broiler, or you can put raspberries or sliced strawberries on top. Don't bother with powdered sugar because the curd absorbs it anyway.
That's my go-to for whenever I have to bring something dainty for a crowd, and they're a huge crowd pleaser.
