Jim Goodwin needed to stir his lacklustre side at the break and second-half substitute Kristijan Trapanovski quickly reduced the deficit after slack Hibs defending.
The rejuvenated Taysiders, however, could not complete the comeback and Hibees substitute Dwight Gayle restored the two-goal advantage with a header in the 87th minute.
With the Dons, who started the day behind on goal difference, losing 1-0 at St Mirren, Hibs opened up what could be a significant gap with only three fixtures remaining.
