I got a really good reasoning called Classical Reasoning 101 that will help you figure this out.
Let's for, instance, assumed we lived in the Victorian age (fancy name for the era of 1800's. Let's assume, also, that we live in a mansion where we have cooks, maids, and a butler. Assuming, also these people are lived in workers. Since all the cookies are gone in the huge cookie jar, the head of the household is assumed to be really ticked off and he called a big meeting in the study room where all the children, wife, and his workers are gathered together to find out who stole or ate all the cookies from the cookie jar. As you know in the past to be around the master or head of the house hold everyone must look nice, cleaned, and trimmed. So, now you have all these folks lined up in the study room where the master is pacing back and forth in front of them, looking for clues if any. The master sniffed everyone by the lips and didn't come up with anything. So what he decided to do is used classical reasoning, which is more easy tactics to figure out who stole or ate all the cookies from the cookie jar. So here it is, it's what the reasoning and the answer to your question.
Proposition 1 (of Classical reasoning 101)
If everyone (not including the master himself, the Mrs., and the butler) are not allowed to go in and out of the kitchen through out the day, then we can eliminate the children and everyone working in the kitchen.
Because the children and everyone in the kitchen can not go in and out through out the day from the kitchen, then there remains only three people that are the ones that stole or ate all the cookies.
Proposition 2.
If the master, the Mrs., and the butler can go in and out of the kitchen; then it must be either one or all three of them that stole or ate all the cookies from the cookie jar.
Because the master goes to work early in the morning till dark, then it must be the Mrs., or the butler or both that stole or ate all the cookies from the cookie jar.
But the Mrs. is busy half of the day doing volunteering work or attended to her non profit organization meetings, then it must be the butler that stole or ate all the cookies from the cookie jar.
However, the Mrs. though, is only doing her work part of the day, it can be concluded at least she must have stole or ate some but not all the cookies from the cookie jar.
Therefore, we can now say that it's possible that the Mrs. and the butler must have stole or ate all the cookies from the cookie jar.
Proposition 3
Because the Master is gone all day and the Mrs. is gone half a day, they have vested authority to claim that it is not possible that the owner's or the masters of the household would stole or ate their own cookies from the cookie jar.
Therefore, it would be unethical for the two masters of the household to have stolen or ate all the cookies from the cookie jar.
Therefore, assuming that the butler is the only other person that is home all day and can go in and out of the kitchen, and that the buler and the Mrs. have not been commiting adultery, it's possible that it could very well be the butler who has stole or ate all the cookies from the cookie jar.
Since, the master had beaten his wife to find out if she had been commiting adultery with the butler, the truth came out that neither was possible.
So, therefore, because the butler has been home all day (assuming he has a family too), and have the authority like the masters to go in and out of the kiitchen, then it is the bulter who did it.
Therefore, it is the butler who has been stealing and eating all the cookies from the cookie jar.
So then, the butler is the guilty one without proof.
(Remember assume makes an *** of you and me).

logic says, eaten, but this is a stipulation based on the idea that the sole use of the cookie jar is to persurve cookies till they are ready to be eaten, and if they are outside of the jar that they are in process of being eaten... now it could be that someone took them, knowing cookies cannot move on their own, and are intended to be eaten, for they are a food that will go bad and usually are intended as a souce of food or rather a snack... as to who took them, we cannot know given that no further details were give... and we cannot know if they were eaten yet or relocated so that a private party can enjoy knowing they know where they are...
also this is given that the cookies existed in the first place eithe rmade or baught... and the jar is not just a display item...
hopefully this can give you a start to answering the proverbial question of "who stole the cookies from the cookie jar"
have a good day

Some parents blamed the kids. Kids claimed innocence. Parents set up a camera on the cookie jar and they caught the culprit. It was a mouse.
