Tim Hortons Peanut Butter Cookies Ingredients
- Peanut butter: creamy or chunky for rich, nutty flavor.
- Granulated sugar: adds sweetness and balances peanut butter.
- Brown sugar: adds moisture and deep caramel flavor.
- Eggs: bind ingredients and create a soft cookie texture.
- All-purpose flour: forms the base of the cookie dough.
- Baking soda: helps cookies rise and stay soft.
- Salt: enhances the peanut butter flavor.
- Vanilla extract: adds warm, aromatic flavor.
How To Make Tim Hortons Peanut Butter Cookies
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3: Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until fully incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
Step 4: Scoop dough into 1–2 tablespoon portions and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Press each cookie lightly with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
Step 5: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Enjoy warm cookies fresh from the oven or store them in an airtight container for later. Perfect with a cup of coffee or milk.
Tim Hortons Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe Tips
- Chill the dough: For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Creamy vs. chunky peanut butter: Both work; chunky gives extra texture.
- Don’t overbake: Cookies continue cooking slightly after removal, so pull them when edges are just golden.
- Add mix-ins: Chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or chopped peanuts make these cookies even more indulgent.
Storing, Freezing & Reheating
- Storing: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: Freeze baked cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Reheating: Warm cookies in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or in the oven at 300°F for 3–5 minutes for that fresh-baked taste.
