Ingredients
Scale
Berry Filling
- 4 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and/or blackberries), fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Sugar Cookie Topping
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Make Berry Filling: In a large bowl, mix the mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice gently to coat the berries evenly. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a mixer, beat the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which helps create a tender topping.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract for additional flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet butter mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Top the Berries: Drop spoonfuls of the sugar cookie batter evenly over the berry filling in the baking dish. Gently spread the batter with a spatula, leaving some spaces for the berries to peek through during baking.
- Bake: Place the cobbler in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Bake until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cookie topping comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes to allow the filling to set slightly for easier serving.
- Serve: Serve the cobbler warm, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Adjust sugar in the filling depending on the sweetness of your berries for best results.
- Use frozen berries if fresh are not available, but do not thaw to avoid excess moisture.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
- Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving to prevent the filling from being too runny.
- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the topping for extra warmth and flavor.
