The Best Cookies In The World

I have certain prominent character flaws - as a result of one or more of these, as soon as this blog starts feeling like an obligation I will stop writing in it. It's going to happen from time to time, no doubt about it. If I apologize for not writing in a long time every time I go on hiatus, it seems like I will be beginning each blog entry by explaining my absense and begging your forgiveness. Rather than doing that, I will just let this statement and apology of sorts apply to all future postings :)

So. Back to cookies. I used to work for Tim Hortons. They are always coming up with "new and exciting" deals and combos... but really, most of the food being pushed in their ads are just renamed (Creamy Field Mushroom soup instead of plain old Mushroom Soup) or they have some basic ingredients shuffled around. Until the cookie campaign.

At some point, they came out with some "new and exciting" cookies. Caramel Chocolate Pecan Cookies. They were glorious. Sweet cookie, soft chocolate, chewy puddles of caramel... pure bliss. And they sold them for 6 for $1.99. That's just evil. They were the best cookies I had ever tasted, and I devoured them with glee.

Much more recently, they had another cookie campaign. They made their cookies bigger, better... or some shit like that. Essentially, they ruined the Caramel Chocolate Pecan Cookie. They're thicker, and just have a general caramel flavouring. The little chewy puddles are gone. They just aren't any good at all.... I would rather eat a plain old chocolate chip cookie. And that is sad.

They were my favourite cookies... and I am afraid that I will never see them again.


Why, Tim Hortons, Why?!
