This isn’t your average cobbler recipe, but it is probably one of the easiest ones you can find. Instead of a layer of fruit, you’ll find a buttery sauce that makes itself (!!) while the cobbler is baking. The topping is similar to warm, fluffy snickerdoodles, making it the best parts of a cookie and a cobbler combined. This entire dessert magically comes together in the oven, so it's just the thing to serve when you don't feel like rolling and baking off individual cookies.
The process of this cobbler might feel a little strange. Pouring hot water over the top of batter will feel wrong, but trust the process. When the cobbler is done baking, the water and butter will turn into a sauce that keeps the batter soft. Serve this cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you won’t hear a single complaint.
This cobbler can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge or 2 to 3 days. Similarly, you can pop a whole or leftover cobbler into the freezer for up to 3 months! Just be sure to thaw in the refrigerator before reheating and serving.
