Snickerdoodle Cobbler 🍪🥧✨ Warm, Gooey, and Packed With Cinnamon-Sugar Goodness

This snickerdoodle cobbler transforms the classic cookie into a cozy, spoonable dessert.

With layers of cinnamon-sugar batter, a gooey middle, and a crisp topping, it’s like a giant snickerdoodle baked into cobbler form — best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients (Serves 8)

For the batter

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the cinnamon-sugar topping

• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon

For the hot water layer

• 1½ cups hot water

Optional topping

• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

Step 1: Preheat oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch or similar baking dish.

Step 2: Make the batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in melted butter, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared dish.

Step 3: Add cinnamon-sugar topping

In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.

Step 4: Pour hot water

Carefully pour hot water over the top of the batter and sugar mixture. Do not stir — the water helps create the gooey, saucy layer during baking.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set but the center is still gooey.

Step 6: Serve

Let cool slightly, then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Flavor Variations

• Add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar for extra warmth
• Use brown sugar in the topping for deeper caramel flavor
• Swirl in a little cream cheese before baking for a tangy twist
• Top with caramel drizzle for even more decadence

Pro Tips

• Don’t stir after pouring hot water — it’s key for the cobbler’s saucy texture
• Serve warm straight from the oven for the gooeyest results
• Use a glass or ceramic dish for the best bake and texture
• Leftovers reheat well in the microwave, though the cobbler is best fresh

Final Thoughts

Snickerdoodle Cobbler is a cinnamon-sugar dream — gooey in the middle, golden on top, and bursting with cozy cookie flavor. It’s rustic, indulgent, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Bake it. Scoop it. Taste the snickerdoodle magic. 🍪🥧✨
