For some reason- it had never until now occurred to me to wonder why, actually- my mother dumps flour into a translucent-ish rectangular Tupperware container instead of keeping it in the paper bag.
She does the same thing with the powdered sugar, and the container is the same size and shape, and, look, when you're reaching for the all-purpose flour and you get a proper-looking container full of white powder, do you really stop to examine it closely?
The cookies weren't actually inedible. Much flatter and chewier than one would normally expect, though.
