We go through enough cookies too, and I never thought of that. Could be because DH is usually the one to empty the cookie package when he shoves plenty in a baggie for his work lunch, then throws the package on the counter instead of in the garbage. So I see the package, get miffed because he once again didn't open the cabinet door BELOW the counter and throw it away himself. Next time I see that I will have visions of your Chips Ahoy fabric squares. There yah go. You can make a quilt and call it Chips Ahoy!
Gonna take your idea and use it soon! And thanks for the visual, too early for cookie eating but will for sure be scrounging cabinets to look for some later. hee hee
