I'm sure you could use it for a cookie jar but usually cookies jars have a wider opening. I used mine for a salt mixture for a foot soak.

Yes but not very many would fit, this jar is a better for spices or small amounts of loose leaf tea.

It will just barely fit inside, but it won't sit down in there nicely and will wobble and fall out unless you hold onto it with one hand while you're pouring with the other, so not the ideal situation for that type of jar.

No you would need next size up. This one is best for a few cookies/small treats.

I don't know but I would think it would be too small. Works great for cookie sheet liner for cooking bread and granola.

Hi I think that would work. The bottom would hold more than 2 dozen cookies, depending on how you are displaying them.

It depends on how much your cookie dough spreads - whether your cookies are mounds or flat. A cookie sheet with interior space measurements of 10"x15" will fit 4 across by 3 down. Hope this helps.

It could be, if the jar fits. It needs to open wider to fit more modern jars.

Not really well, although you could probably squeeze it in there at least partially because the top gives a bit. I've put a few oversized mugs that are too big for it in there and it will hold them, but I wouldn't rely on that if you're planning to use quart-sized mason style jars on a regular basis.

I love this cookie jar. The opening size is 4 & a half inches. It is big and so far everything I put in there fits.I hope this helps you. and yes your hand will fit in it.

It might - I was keeping wrapped bread in there and it was molding very quickly. Now I keep just crackers and cookies in there - not my best purchase but probably because I didn't match it to my needs.

Yes, they're the size of a standard cookie sheet so you should have enough room.

I actually use mine to hold cookie cutters, not cookie - if you are looking for a tight seal on the lid it is not

Patricia, I just happen to have a 4lb. bag of sugar sitting right next to the jar, and it appears that it would easily accommodate 5 lbs. of volume, so the answer is "yes" it should be able to meet your needs. It is a very nice jar. Good luck. Larry

Sure, but it will be pretty shallow. It would work great for cookies, sandwiches, and sliced cake or brownies. You could even bake cookies on the lid. It is the same material as the bottom and it is flat. A suggestion-- I gave these to my daughters and daughter-in-law last year. I took them to my jeweler and he engraved the top with "Homemade by persons name". They loved them.

I don't see why not. It is sturdy and the glass is not thin. But I would personally not close the lid with hot liquid inside unless I left a LOT of headspace at the top, because it does not seem to be intended to be used as a canning jar.

No. It is a cute snack container. My daughter always puts it in a baggie because it doesn't seal completely. It does not hold much.
