This cookie jar is heavy enough that little hands are not going to move it easily, but light enough for easy cleaning. This piece is a perfect complement to any country kitchen. It really looks and feels like it belongs in a general store in the 1800 to 1900’s. Why have a bag of cookies on a shelf when you can store them in this cookie jar and have a beautiful display piece. Somehow I think the cookies will even taste better when you take one from this jar! Each cookie jar comes with a free cookie recipe for you to try.
