How To Make Tim Hortons Peanut Butter Cookies

Mixing peanut butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla into smooth cookie dough.

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.

Adding flour, baking soda, and salt to peanut butter cookie dough.

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.

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.
