I am not a baker, so I heartily subscribe to the view that women should not bring homemade treats to the office if they want to get ahead
I would bring several high-end flavors of ice-cream.
Ben & Jerry has flavors with funny names, if you need a conversation starter.

oh great, now because I am a professional woman I am not allowed to enjoy baking because you think it's stereotypical.

My (male) boss and (male) coworkers bring in home-baked goods all the time. Baked by them. So I think you are the the one with an issue here.

No one in their right mind prefers oatmeal raisin to chocolate chip.

If you really want to do the right thing, make oatmeal chocolate chip.

Ridiculous. In my department, men bring in homemade treats as much as women do.

I personally prefer oatmeal rasin cookies over chocolate chip – just make the recipe on the Quaker oatmeal container.

How do you know OP is a woman? That's rather presumptive.

Celery, watercress, and walnuts.

set up an ice cream sundae bar.
hire a crepe person to come in.

A bowl of mixed berries, angel food cake, and whip cream

Maybe you do know but I wouldn't do homemade.

Brownies...homemade

I would say chocolate chip cookies or brownies. If you want to get really creative, you could make cake pops and put them in a cellophane bag with a cute ribbon, and attach a thank you note.

I have a really high performing team that I'd like to treat at the final meeting with something homemade (knowing the group, they'd most appreciate that). I was thinking just my basic chocolate chip cookies, but was wondering if there was anything more creative - or easier - that you guys could think of

No allergies or dietary restrictions. They do like their chocolate but are generally health conscious

Thanks!
