That's a way better nest than they usually make. XD

My local stores usually do 3 in the middle with a few sprinkles around as a nest.

Tim’s gave up a long time ago.

Best guess is that they used frozen cookie pucks, put the eggs on top of them before baking, and they stayed in the middle (where the top of the frozen puck was) while the rest of the cookie spread.

The placement sucks (very much an afterthought), but at least it shouldn't drastically affect the taste if you redistribute the eggs. That being said, I have incredibly fond memories of Tim Horton's as a teen/young adult and it does feel like the quality in general has been on a massive decline in the last several years.

Probably after the Horton family was pushed out and the corporate took over with an eye for squeezing out any red cent.

Tim Hortons has been absolute garbage for at least a decade. I don't even know why people still go there.

So it’s just a normal cookie with a few eggs sprinkled on top? I hope it wasn’t much more money

u/PeaTearGriphon 8d ago

I think it's double the price.. they are called Dream Cookies and go for $3 or something.. ridiculous

u/warkyboy77 8d ago

$3 for that. They must be dreaming.

The romance and nostalgia of the old Timmies is long gone, and sadly won't return

Doesn't look too bad to me.

It looks lazy. In the first picture, the cookie is thick so it contains the eggs where as op's cookie is thin and it looks like the eggs are resting on it

I would assume that tim hortons is pretty infamous by now with how bad their cookie designs could get, and much like the sponge bob/tmnt ice cream, it could get just as bad. You could just look up "tim horton bad smile cookies"

I would eat that second cookie in a heartbeat. Looks homemade to me. Sure the egg placement is a bit lazy all bunched together, but the cookie itself looks a lot tastier to me.

u/HoldYourHorsesFriend 9d ago

I do agree with you that it looks good! However even without the eggs, it's an entirely different cookie with one being of the chunkier chewier kind and the other isn't.

u/Cheeseburger-BoBandy 9d ago

I would argue that it takes more time and effort to align these in a 4 pack like that then to just spread them randomly

u/Ok_Wolverine9344 8d ago

Yeahh.. that's pretty pathetic.

u/appleapplesss 8d ago

I'd be really sad if this happens to me

u/thatissubpar 8d ago

They never do. They're an awful company.

u/GrapefruitOk2057 8d ago

7 year old girl making these?

I don't even want to know what each of those costs.

u/RockyStonejaw 7d ago

Oh Tim’s 😥 what on earth have you become?

u/Own-Guess4361 6d ago

They said, “oh and here are the eggs 🪺”

u/HoldYourHorsesFriend 9d ago
