Make a warm, gooey dessert that tastes like a classic snickerdoodle cookie. This easy cobbler recipe bakes up quickly, offering buttery cinnamon-sugar flavor perfect for serving warm with ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon. Set aside.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
  8. Carefully pour 1 cup of boiling water over the entire surface of the batter and cinnamon topping. The water will create a sauce layer.
  9. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  10. Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • For extra cinnamon flavor, you can roll the dough balls (if you were making cookies) in the cinnamon-sugar mix, but for this cobbler, sprinkling it on top works best.
  • Serve this dessert immediately while it is warm for the best gooey texture.
  • This recipe pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
