Cookie bar...how to display?

Use lots of cake stands! Even make cake stands out of cups and plates and paint them the color you want. In this picture they even used a milk jug as the base. I know the Bed bath by me has big jars if that's the idea you love. You can also check home goods or marshalls.

I like Katie L's idea! You could DIY or even thrift for cake stands if you're going for a vintage/rustic look. Ask friends if they have any you could borrow!

That is a great idea! I've also seen people put milk in double shot glasses with a cookie on top. I like the cake stand idea

Typically cookies get displayed on platters or on cake stands. A jar would be too much for numerous guests to dig through to find that perfect cookie, unlike when it's laid out.

Check out big lots, Christmas tree hop type stores for the candy jars. Also oriental trading

I could honestly see my nephew on top of that table, stuffing cookies in his shirt, LOL. I agree with Katie, that looks like a great layout
