Containing the Cookies

Do you have a special cookie jar?

I have two cookie jars.

My husband was always a baseball player from Little League right through college, so I fell in love with this baseball bear cookie jar when I saw it. My sister bought it for me well before I was married. (That's 18 years, so I'd say it's a least 20 years old.) I do not store cookies in him because he's not air-tight and little hands would most likely have broken him long ago.



Then I have this one, from Pier One, which does have an air-tight seal. I wouldn't say you could leave cookies in it for days & days, it's not that air-tight, but cookies would never last in my house for days & days so it's not a problem.



Have you ever surfed the web for cookie jars? Oh my goodness! I only searched Amazon & let me tell you, if I had to pick one, I couldn't do it. There are so many choices, I had no idea!

Here are some that caught my eye...


I love Dr. Seuss. Isn't this amazing?



How about I Love Lucy's oven?



A sweet cupcake cookie jar? Yes, please.



And now onto some more practical options...

How cute is this personalized one?



Just because this one might not have the bells & whistles of the others, I find it no less appealing.



Inquiring minds want to know...when you bake up batches of heaven from the oven, where do you store them?

  3. I really like the one you bought from Pier1. I have a MacKenzie-Childs glass canister with a black and white lid. It is not airtight, but with the kids around here (and in the neighborhood) they never last!

  4. Let me tell you girl...When I bake cookies they never last long enough to store...Hee, hee, hee. "COOOOOOOKIES" I even sound like the Cookie Monster too ;-P I don't own a cookie jar. I don't think I ever have, maybe that's why. Love, love, love your Pier1 cookie jar though. Now if I had one, that is what I would like :-) Have a wonderful new week my friend.

    Hugs and Smiles,

  5. aww..I love your cookie jars! This is a great post. I never store my cookies in a jar b/c my bunch eats them too fast! I usually put them on a covered cake plate but it never seems to last more than a day. I really like the last jar, just the plain clear one. That inspires me to go get one. I've seen them and they are relatively inexpensive. Thanks for sharing!

  8. I love the Lucy one. Cookie jars a quite collectable at the moment. My babies grown, so I would grow if I had one, but I always remember that my grandma had one and it was always full of cookies!
