This Snickerdoodle Cobbler is the perfect dessert for anyone who loves the classic cinnamon-sugar flavors of snickerdoodle cookies but wants something warm, gooey, and comforting. The cobbler brings together the best parts of a soft-baked cookie and a cobbler, creating a rich dessert with a caramelized top and a buttery, soft center. The brown sugar and hot water create a rich sauce beneath the batter, giving it a self-saucing effect that elevates the texture and flavor. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, this dessert is sure to be a crowd-pleaser at any gathering or as a special treat on a cozy night.
Ingredients:
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup whole milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups sugar
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 ½ cups brown sugar, packed
1 ½ cups hot water
For the Topping:
¼ cup sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Pour the melted butter into a 9x13-inch baking pan, ensuring it evenly coats the bottom.
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until combined.
Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Avoid overmixing.
Spoon the batter evenly over the melted butter without stirring.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the batter.
Carefully pour the hot water over the entire mixture—do not stir.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and mostly set.
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
Immediately after baking, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the hot cobbler.
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
