cookie tin

Biscuit storage container

A cookie tin is a metal container, typically decorative, used for storing cookies or biscuits.

These tins often feature festive designs and are especially common during holidays as gifts.

The containers frequently outlast their original contents, becoming household storage for sewing supplies, buttons, or other small items: Every grandmother has a cookie tin that's actually full of thread and needles.
