Tim Hortons has unveiled an upgraded version of its popular Chocolate Chunk Cookie. Now, consumers will have the chance to enjoy a larger cookie, packed with even more chocolate chunks.
The reimagined cookie aims to deliver a richer and gooier experience. Carolina Berti, Vice President of Category and Innovation for Tim Hortons, enthusiastically shared: "Our Chocolate Chunk Cookies are guest favourites year-round and they take on another special role when they are decorated as Smile Cookies every spring to help support charities across the country. We're so excited to have reimagined them by making them bigger and with more chocolate chunks than ever before!"
Alongside the upgraded Chocolate Chunk Cookie, Tim Hortons has introduced a limited-time Chocolate Caramel Cookie. The chain has also expanded its breakfast menu by introducing scrambled eggs made from 100% Canadian freshly cracked eggs. These are available in several loaded wrap options during morning hours.
