Description
Snickerdoodle Cobbler is a delightful American dessert that combines the soft, chewy texture of a classic snickerdoodle cookie with the warmth and gooeyness of a traditional cobbler. Featuring a cinnamon-sugar topping and a rich buttery base, this easy-to-make cobbler is baked to golden perfection and is perfect served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly prepare a 9×9-inch baking dish by pouring the melted butter into it and spreading the butter evenly over the bottom.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir the whole milk and vanilla extract into the dry mixture, mixing until the batter is smooth and uniform.
- Combine butter and batter: Carefully pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish without stirring, allowing the butter to naturally separate.
- Prepare cinnamon sugar topping: In a small bowl, mix together the packed brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
- Add hot water: Slowly and evenly pour the hot water over the cinnamon sugar and batter layer, again avoiding any stirring to maintain the layered effect.
- Bake the cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The cobbler is done when the top is set, lightly golden, and a gooey cinnamon sauce has formed underneath.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. For best results, serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- This cobbler is meant to be soft and spoonable with a gooey base that resembles a snickerdoodle cookie texture.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
- For extra spice, add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
