Cookies

Carrying cookies on your flights is quite common and generally hassle-free. You are permitted to have cookies in both your carry-on and checked baggage. At security checkpoints, there are no specific restrictions for cookies, similar to other solid food items. However, security officers might request that they be placed in a separate bin to obtain a clear image on the X-ray machine. This situation may arise, especially if your baggage is cluttered, and it is a standard procedure to expedite the screening process.
