Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed berries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your cobbler bakes evenly and thoroughly.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of mixed berries with 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh mint. Gently stir the mixture to coat the berries evenly with the sugar and mint. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1/2 cup of brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Gradually pour in 1/2 cup of milk, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth and well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough cobbler.
- In a greased 9x9 inch baking dish, spread the berry mixture evenly across the bottom. Make sure to distribute the berries evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the berry mixture, creating an even layer. It's okay if some of the berries peek through; this will create a lovely cobbler texture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors settle and make it easier to serve.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, and enjoy your delicious Roasted Berry Mint Cookie Cobbler!
Tips
- Choose the freshest, ripest mixed berries for the most intense flavor. A combination of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries works wonderfully.
- Make sure your butter is truly softened, not melted, for the perfect cookie-like topping texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to a tough, dense cobbler. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding a tiny bit of lemon zest to the berry mixture.
- Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes after baking to allow the flavors to settle and make serving easier.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.
- This dessert is best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator and gently reheated for up to 2 days.
