Cookie jar

Cookie jars are utilitarian or decorative ceramic or glass jars often found in American and Canadian kitchens.

In the United Kingdom, they are known as biscuit barrels[1] or biscuit jars.

[2] If they are cans made out of tinplate, they are called biscuit tins.

[3] While used to store actual cookies or biscuits, they are sometimes employed to store other edible items like candy or dog treats, or non-edible items like currency (in the manner of a piggy bank).
