Good cookie container?

So I was noticing my mothers cookie container (Tupperware) was looking kinda beat.

Does anyone have suggestions for a good container? Baked goods will be the primary occupant. Needs to seal very well to keep freshness in. Stale cookies are no good :)
 
homemade stale cookies? Never heard of them! Store bought ones, oh for sure. :smile:

We just use cans that store bought cookies come in.

Well, since you mention Tupperware as the original container, what about the Snapware plastic containers? We've got chocolate chip cookies in ours from Friday, and they're still chewy. Maybe not as much as the day they were made, but somehow the container kept getting opened... =)

... and no, that's not me.

Can't really help you with a cookie jar. What we make lasts maybe two days at most and doesn't have time to go stale.
 
We have 5 kids, you can't bake cookies fast enough to get any in a container. I would think a 9X14 Tupperware container would do just fine though, it's what my wife packs hers in for gifts and such.

My mother used to put her cookies and brownies in the freezer . . . 30 or more years later . . . both I and my brother like frozen cookies and brownies.

Homemade cookies are really best shared around fresh . . . for short term and using something to take them to work to share I like the zip lock containers. These things are pretty cheap and can be reused way more times than the manufacturer intends.
 
Ziplock works or at my House the Classic Glass Cookie Jar works because they don't last long enough to get stale and if they do I crumb them up in a glass and cover with milk and eat with a spoon.
 
I don't know why but when I read the title I thought it said COTI not COOKIE....

I need to get outside more often :lol:
 
Mom used to keep them in a ceramic cookie jar.
She'd put a slice of bread in the bottom, then lay waxed paper over the bread and pile the cookies on.

Never had an issue with a stale cookie.

She sent some cookies for Thanksgiving. Same thing. Bread, waxed paper, all inside a fruitcake tin.
They arrived fresh and remained fresh for the week it took us to finish them.
