Tim Hortons Maple Overload

Every month, Tim Hortons (large donut chain in Canada) changes its special flavour to coincide with the season. For the month of May, Timmys is going overboard with the maple flavour.

This is where I wipe the drool from my keyboard.

Yesterday, I tried their maple shortbread cookie.

I purchased the cookie as part of their sandwich combo. My boss wanted the sandwich and the coffee and I took the cookie. He didn’t know there was a cookie. If I’m doing the leg work by fetching my boss’ lunch, I should at least get a cookie out of the deal.

Yesterday, being the hectic mess that it was, I couldn’t sit down and enjoy a cookie. I ate it on the road driving to a meeting.

I arrived at the meeting, stack of files in my hands and this weird smile on my face. One that said both über-exhaustion and orgasmic bliss.

The gentlemen I was meeting asked me how it was going; general greeting question, right? My answer: “Cookie.”

We discussed business for all of two minutes, but the meeting turned into a discussion as to why I didn’t bring this man a cookie too.

This was one special cookie. Shortbread, when done right, is one of the finest things a man can put in his mouth. I wouldn’t call this the best piece of shortbread though. I wouldn’t have called it shortbread at all. I was more of a sugar cookie than it was shortbread. But instead of the cookie standard, chocolate chips, the cookie was peppered with drops of maple syrup. Ooey gooey maple syrup.

Again, I must wipe the drool from my keyboard.
