The Cutest Cookie Jars for Storing and Preserving Your Homemade Treats

A cookie jar is meant to house and preserve precious cargo—whether yours is packed with delicate macarons filled with jam and buttercream, intricately decorated sugar cookies, or a store-bought package of chocolate sandwich cookies, this type of storage container is essential for anyone with a sweet tooth as a quality cookie jar will help your treats maintain freshness. Luckily, there are so many on the marketplace, which makes finding one that matches your home's aesthetic a breeze. From cute and festive finds to versatile and practical picks, we rounded up our favorite cookie jars available right now.

While it's important for a product to look good on the countertop, it's even more important for these cookie jars to be functional. Airtight lids with a rubber or silicone gasket help to keep sweet treats fresh, which makes them must-have features. We also looked for cookie jars that were made of durable, eco-friendly materials such as glass and stoneware rather than plastic.

Some of our picks are designed to specifically be cookie jars, while others can be used to store other pantry staples such as flour, sugar, and salt after the last cookie is taken out of the jar. Of course, we also valued size—after all, the cookie jars need to be large enough to hold a dozen (or more!) cookies. And trust us, there is plenty of room for all of your confections in the styles we selected.

Ahead, we're sharing pretty and practical cookie jars that look good and do a great job of keeping your sweets fresh—that is, if they last long enough to make it into the jar in the first place.
