• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on berry sweetness)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Sugar Cookie Topping

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Timing

Making Sugar Cookie Berry Cobbler takes about 15 minutes for preparation and 30-35 minutes for baking.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Prepare the Berry Filling

1. Mix Berries: In a large bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the berries evenly.
2. Transfer to Dish: Pour the berry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 3: Make the Sugar Cookie Topping

1. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Mix Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler

1. Spoon Topping: Drop spoonfuls of the sugar cookie dough over the berry filling, covering it as best as you can. It’s okay if some berries are still visible.

Step 5: Bake

1. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cookie topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbly.
2. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 6: Serve
