cookie jar
Kitchen sweets keeper
A cookie jar is a container, typically ceramic with a lid, used to store cookies on a kitchen counter.
The phrase caught with your hand in the cookie jar means discovered doing something forbidden—taking what you shouldn't, often money or resources.
The image is of a child sneaking treats.
