Snickerdoodle Cobbler

This Snickerdoodle Cobbler is a delightful twist on the classic cookie, transformed into a warm and comforting dessert. With a rich, cinnamon-sugar topping and a gooey center, this cobbler is perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

• 1 package (17.5 oz) Krusteaz Snickerdoodle Cookie Mix
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups boiling water

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Cookie Mix: In a bowl, combine the Snickerdoodle cookie mix with the melted butter. Stir until well combined and crumbly.
3. Make Cinnamon-Sugar: In a separate small bowl, mix together the sugar and ground cinnamon.
4. Prepare Cream Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour this mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
5. Assemble Cobbler: Evenly sprinkle the cookie mix over the cream mixture in the baking dish. Then, generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
6. Add Boiling Water: Carefully pour the boiling water over the entire cobbler. Do not stir; the water will help create a delicious gooey center as it bakes.
7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
8. Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving it warm. It’s delicious on its own or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
