Ingredients
Fruit Filling
- 4 cups mixed berries or sliced peaches
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cookie Topping
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Fruit Filling: In a bowl, combine the mixed berries or sliced peaches with granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well to coat all the fruit evenly.
- Assemble Filling: Spread the fruit mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish, ensuring a flat and even layer for baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in texture.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture until fully incorporated.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon to the wet ingredients. Mix until a soft cookie dough forms without overmixing.
- Top the Fruit: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the fruit filling in the baking dish, leaving small spaces between the dollops for swirling.
- Swirl Cookie Dough: Using a knife, gently swirl the cookie dough slightly into the fruit filling to create a marbled effect.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the cookie topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen fruit; thaw and drain frozen fruit before using to avoid excess moisture.
- Peaches, blueberries, strawberries, or mixed berries all work beautifully for this recipe.
- Avoid overmixing the cookie dough to keep the topping tender and light.
- Serve the cobbler warm with vanilla ice cream for a comforting dessert experience.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
