Selkie Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I hide anything good in the produce drawer under some veggies.😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrichor Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Inside the broken microwave. The cupboard above the fridge. The shelf in my closet. The back of top shelf of the art cabinet (I'm the only one that goes in there.) I used to keep my emergency stress/pms dark chocolate in my nightstand drawer. Then I kept it on a shelf in my closet. I now keep it (and any other sweets in the house that were purchased with the intent to last more than a day) inside of a file box with a combination lock 😞 I'd consider stashing something like christmas cookies in a box in my car's trunk.

Arcadia Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 With my husband’s ewaste collection. Even my husband seldom touch his ewaste collection which he is supposed to bring to his office ewaste collection area. Besides my husband isn’t into cookies so even if he sees them he won’t say a thing or eat them. They have to be in airtight containers though. My kids have sensitive noses as well as me, especially for butter cookies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 I used to hide things under my bed (we have limited options here) but dh has found my little toolbox that was hidden there with hammer and nails because I could never find any when I needed them. I have the cookies in tins and tomorrow I will be baking my last batch...so I am thinking the cabinet with the tablecloth and placemats. The guys NEVER look in there. You guys have inspired me to think deeper and more deviously! 😋Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaceseeker Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Sometimes I just stash things in plain sight by putting some clutter on top of it. Like in a basket on top of the washing machine with a towel thrown on top, or something like that. All their stockings stuffers and candy are in plain sight in a small Christmas bag I threw some tissue paper, bows, extra tags, etc on top so it just looks like a bag of Christmas wrapping supplies. Strangely enough, no one ever cleans anything up or straightens up to find the goodies except me. Hmm... 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeachyDoodle Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 The highest cabinet over the fridge. From myself. I have to climb on a chair to reach them. I may or may not occasionally climb on a chair to reach them... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scholastica Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 We always freeze them. Everybody gets a sample cookie and the rest are for Christmas. They are, after all, Christmas cookies, not Advent cookies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink and Green Mom Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 This is why I don't bake. I'd be hiding them from myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Depends whom you're hiding them from. Mostly I don't buy / bake them until the day I need them (or one night before). If I need to hide small stuff - the "in plain sight" (modified - place something over it that the kids expect to see there) usually works. Otherwise in an underwear drawer or similar place nobody would think to look in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) I have a freezer bag dedicated to Christmas Day cookies. Nobody bothers the frozen cookies. I make batches throughout December and save some for the Christmas Day platter. Edited December 19, 2018 by KungFuPanda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I don’t. Cookies made today would be beyond stale by Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dh thinks of them as Advent cookies, to be eaten in the anticipation of things to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WendyLady Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I am a great baker of cookies. I really don't like day old cookies, a week old is just blech. Sugar cookies are okay a few days old, though - maybe it's all the extra sugar? I like to mix up dough, freeze it into balls, then bake up a batch fresh daily between now and Christmas. I'm ready for peanut butter, ginger snaps, and snickerdoodles. I also have sugar cookie dough ready to roll out.

Katy Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 You know those giant 6-pack bags of frozen vegetables at Sam's Club? You can hide anything in them. You're welcome. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMS83 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 In my stomach. 🤐😁 Actually we bake the day or two before because we are just baking for grandparents whom we see Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, so it's not too hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
displace Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 In the box with the dry milk packages. Dry bean drawer. Chocolate chips in the freezer wrapped in aluminum foil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momto6inIN Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I have a certain small section of counter under the microwave between the fridge and the pantry that everyone knows is off limits. Any food set out on that counter is not to be eaten or used to cook without risking almost certain death (or at least Momma's death ray eyes). Somehow everyone obeys this rule, even DH, who is a world class snacker and snitcher of clandestine bites. Maybe I have really scary death ray eyes ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjzimmer1 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Normally I keep them in the freezer (and make an extra batch of my favorites for me to snack on)but this year my freezer was too full so I put off baking while I tried to whittle down other stuff in my freezer. But then I got too busy and I still haven't started. Thursday, Friday and Saturday are schedule for a marathon baking session. Since I have less time to snack on them, I'm hoping I can get by without making the extra batches and that will save some time getting it all done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pippen Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 About half go in the freezer with tape around them and notes saying save for Christmas. The other half are fair game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
