Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs frozen mixed berries such as raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 package sugar cookie mix 17.5 oz
  • 1 stick salted butter 1/2 cup, melted

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch Baking Dish
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prep Your Dish. Grab a 9x13 inch baking dish and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Step 2: Berry Time! Pour the frozen mixed berries into the prepared dish and spread them into an even layer. Do not thaw them.
  3. Step 3: Thicken Up. Sprinkle the cornstarch evenly over the berries. Gently stir in the dish to distribute, then spread berries back out evenly.
  4. Step 4: Cookie Crust Magic. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sugar cookie mix and melted salted butter. Whisk until just combined; it will look like a thick, slightly crumbly dough.
  5. Step 5: Top It Off. Take spoonfuls (dollops) of the cookie dough mixture and spoon them evenly over the berry layer. You don't need to cover the berries completely.
  6. Step 6: Bake Away! Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 40-45 minutes, or until the berry filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown and set.
  7. Step 7: Rest (If You Can Wait!). Carefully remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to settle and the topping to firm up.

Notes

Use frozen berries for the best texture and to help the cornstarch thicken properly. Do not overmix the cookie dough; it should be thick and crumbly. Dollops of dough create the classic cobbler topping, allowing berries to bubble through. Letting the cobbler rest after baking prevents burning and allows juices to thicken. Store cooled leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or larger portions in a 325°F (160°C) oven to crisp the topping.
