Cookie jar?

traveler — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 16:33:03 GMT

Do you use one? Pioneer Woman, Anchor Hocking., figural? I donated mine years ago but have been thinking about getting a small one.

They're cute to set on a counter or island but not really practical as most are not air tight.

Yes, I have a couple of floral motif Temp-tations cookie jars. One is always stocked with dog biscuits on top of the fridge.

I do, but I wrap each cookie in saran wrap before I put it in the jar. I have two cookie jars, one is a figural and the other one is an actual jar for biscotti.

I've had many over the years because I thought they were cute, however I have to agree with @Kachina624 , none were air tight, to keep the cookies fresh.

Since they didn't serve their purpose, they were just big knick knacks that I didn't have countertop space for I donated them.

Takes up too much real estate. Plus the older I get I only want necessary stuff used daily out. I put cookies in a lock n lock in a cabinet.

1 glass jar with metal bail filled with homemade biscotti. If it gets a little hard or rather harder - a second dumk will do ya! Oh, did I mentioned it was from Disneyworld a gazillion years ago - so it holds good memories.

@traveler I used to collect cookie jars but never kept anything in them because they weren't air tight. Now I have a few on a baker's rack, but the rest are in my garage. I'll probably donate them.

I do have two cookie jars in use. One is a large pottery cookie jar from Spain that I bought years ago. I keep Greenie's in it for my dog. I've used it for this purpose for over ten years. The other is a glass MacKenzie-Child's cookie jar that I keep k-cups in. I bought it for that purpose.

I really like cookie jars. Not for putting cookies in them, but I used to collect them. I collected Disney cookies jars. I must have about 75, maybe more. In my old house, I could display just about all of them on the ledge way up in my kitchen. Now, I can have about 10 out at a time. I have a very large and very heavy Christopher Radko Disney cookie jar that I bring out every Christmas. I just enjoy them so much.

Like @ScrapHappy I also collect cookie jars. I don't have quite as many. I think I have about 20 of them. I keep mine on display in a china hutch in my diningroom.

I have one that was made in the 1930's and others were made in the later years. I think quite a few of them came from the 50's and 60's.

I just love my cookie jars. A few came from my grandmother and others from my mother. I have never put cookies in them. I realize they are just dust collectors but each one has a special meaning to me. I don't think I could ever get rid of them.

I'm not really a big collector of things, but unique cookie jars are my weakness. I'm sure your collection of Disney cookie jars are beautiful.

I use mine for storing plastic bags, and as a change jar.

My mom never had one, and we never have. I have a crystal biscuit jar that I keep Nespresso pods in and sometimes I might use it for packaged biscotti. It is a perfect fit!

@traveler I have several cookie jars and do use them.. Many time not for cookies though. I put wrapped candies in them when not using for cookies. I have 2 by Lenox, the Santa and the Snowman for winter, also have 2 pumpkin cookie jars that I use in the fall... I think they're pretty to look at and the kids always want to see what's in them..

I have one cookie jar. I got it in 1968 from Nestle's Toll House Cookies. I saved up 10 cellophane bags and sent them in with a coupon from Woman's Day magazine. It is the old original toll house with a sign on the front of the house saying Nestle Toll House. It was free! I don't usually use it as we're not much for cookies and I rarely bake anymore. However, I love the looks of that old thing and the memories it holds. My granddaughter wants it when I die. I offered to give it to her now but she likes seeing it displayed on my old baker's rack. If I knew how to post a picture, I would.

I do not have any. My mom had two, one she kept tea bags in and the other one was a large coffee jar with a metal lid. I think she always could hear us opening that. I remember the metal lid had a star on it. Not sure what brand. It kept the cookies fresh. I’ll have to try to google that. Don’t know what happened to them.

I have the original cookie jar that was given to my Grandmother when she was pregnant with my Mother. It is now 80 years old. It sits on a top shelf and never used for anything.

i have a retro cookie jar with a seal on top and I use it for teabags.
