Australia's Favorite Cookie

Some years back Tom's and my friend, Cecily, who lives in Tasmania posted something about being tempted by a treat in her cupboard. The sweets, as I recall, were called Tim Tams. I asked her what they were and she courteously replied that they are a type of cookie.

I'd never heard of Tim Tams until then and what's worse, I've never seen them so couldn't taste them.

Until today.

Walking the aisles of our market this morning my head did a double-take when I saw a random display of Tim Tams. "Tom! It's Tim Tams! The cookies Cecily was talking about."

"Better get some," he replied.

We did.

After smuggling the cookies to our room, in a brown paper bag so the kids' dessert-radar wouldn't hone in, we carefully opened the package and sampled the crispy, gooey, caramel-infused, chocolate-covered wafers.




Now we know why the cookies in the cupboard were tempting Cecily that day so many years ago.



Mmmmm.....
