Description

Snickerdoodle Cobbler is a warm, comforting dessert that combines the flavors of classic snickerdoodle cookies with the cozy texture of a cobbler. Featuring a soft, cinnamon-spiced batter topped with brown sugar and cinnamon, and baked with hot water poured over it to create a luscious sauce underneath, this easy-to-make treat is perfect for serving warm with vanilla ice cream or on its own.


Ingredients

Dough/Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Topping

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Additional

  • 1 1/2 cups hot water


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  2. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the batter evenly into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the brown sugar over the batter, then top with the ground cinnamon to create the signature snickerdoodle flavor.
  3. Add Hot Water: Carefully pour the hot water over the top of the assembled batter, ensuring it is distributed evenly. Do not stir the mixture after adding the water; this will allow the cobbler to set correctly during baking.
  4. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is bubbling around the edges.
  5. Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. It is best enjoyed warm, optionally paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for contrast and added richness.

Notes

  • Ensure the water is hot when poured over the cobbler to help create the sauce layer during baking.
  • Do not stir after adding hot water to maintain the cobbler’s texture.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, substitute milk and butter with plant-based options.
  • Serve warm for best flavor and texture, optionally topped with ice cream or whipped cream.
  • Use a 9×9-inch baking dish for even cooking and the correct depth of batter.
