cookie jars

Ceramic snack storage

Cookie jars are containers, typically ceramic with a lid, used to store cookies in a kitchen.

The classic cookie jar is decorative and sits on a counter, inviting snacking.

Caught with your hand in the cookie jar means discovered doing something wrong—taking what you shouldn't, especially money or other resources.
