A thin towel or napkin also works. “ Flour sack”, cotton, or linen. Recycle some stained damask napkins or cotton tablecloths. Dampened and wrung out, if you’re in a dry climate. Cover the bowl, wrap around bread, put the plate of cookies in the middle and tie the corners together. Also, parchment paper, and when I grew up my lunchbox sandwiches were wrapped in waxed paper and sometimes in cut apart bread bags, which were also a waxed paper.
