Compositionally, the diagonal you establish betwee the lid and the hand is good. It gives a definitive "line" to the shot, and adds a bit of interest or action to it. That said, the straight on perspective makes the shot seem a bit static. The lower perspective is better, I think, than one that is even, but perhaps if it were "turned" some, more dof could be defined, and it would have more depth to it. Also, it feel a bit tilted to the right to me.
Technically, you have done well with exposing the glass correctly. That can be difficult. the hand and the lid, though, appear to be just a touch off. That makes the shot have the impression that it is out of focus, because the two "anchor" points are not crisp. Overall, it feels like a touch more contrast would also help it to be a bit more dynamic.
Overall, I think you did meet the challenge, though arguably, stealing a cookie isn't a crime (unless you are shoplifting it), but the idea was good, and it was kinda nice to not see all blood, gore and violence.
Good work and best to you in future challenges.
