Easy Homemade Snickerdoodle Cobbler Recipe
So fall isn’t here quite yet…but there is no reason not to start gearing up for it in the kitchen.
Don’t mind the ridiculously hot August temperatures…crank up that AC and get your oven ready.
I am slightly obsessed with this Snickerdoodle Cobbler.
A Simple Snickerdoodle Cobbler Dessert
A) There is no fruit involved. Woop! B) It takes like 4 seconds to put together. C) It’s best served with ice cream and D) It creates it’s own cinnamon caramel sauce whilst baking.
It might be the perfect food y’all.
How to Make a Perfect Snickerdoodle Cobbler:
The recipe is super simple and I am quite certain you have everything you need in your pantry to whip this up.
You start with a simple batter…no mixer required!
The a super sugary mixture…that’s just light brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.
Just sprinkle that on top.
Then…and I know this is weird…1 3/4 cups hot water. You’ll need to pour that slowly and carefully on top. Don’t dump it por favor.
Immediately put it in the oven.
The water combines with the other ingredients and creates this ridonk sauce. Like what?
And then eat it. It’s best served warm, so serve it immediately or reheat it when you’re ready.
Also ice cream is not optional, folks!

I knew with such a name, this had to be delicious!
I can’t even… I mean Snickerdoodle cobbler?!?! Absolutely amazing!
Wow, this sounds like the sister to our hot fudge brownie. Mix it up and add hot water on top. Bake and end up with a brownie covered with so gooey good hot fudge. Thanks for this Snickerdoodle cobbler, this will be on the great treats list in our home.
That sounds amazing!! Would love that recipe 🙂
This looks amazing! Adding it to my must-try soon list!
I am making this now, as well. Yes, something is off in your liquid amounts as Erin Maree said above- the 1/2 c milk barely makes the batter “dough-like”. And the water on top fills the pan! Are you sure you’re using an 8×8 pan? It smells awesome- I’m hoping it turns out!
The batter for the cake should be on the thin side. I have made this so many times and have never had any issue with the batter being thick, so that’s very strange. And yes, I have used both an 8×8 and an 11×7 and it’s worked fine. The water on top is an unusual baking technique, but I promise it works.
It turned out really well, but I do still think your liquid ratio is off. Here’s why: the liquid to dry ratio is 1/2 cup wet to 1 and 3/4 cup dry (approximately, not including the oil, leaveners). There’s no way that is going to be a thin batter- think about pancake batters that are like 1:1 ratio liquid to dry. But, it’s a tasty recipe, not trying to criticize at all! This is similar (has the water poured on top) to a chocolate cobbler that was around Pinterest last yr and it’s yummy, too.
DOn’t know what to tell you!! I have made this recipe exactly as written so many times and I’ve never experienced a thick batter. So crazy it’s different for you! Glad it turned out ok though!!
I made this exactly as posted and it was great! No issues with a thick batter and it poured smoothly. I agree that it’s similar to the chocolate cobbler, which is tasty as well. Both are favorites of the family!
Oh my goodness gracious alive. This looks so good!
My mom used to make a cake similar to this with the sauce on the bottom, but it was chocolate. Snickerdoodles are one of my favorite cookies and I will definitely be trying this cake!
FABulous! Love the flavors here. OH MY GOODNESS!
Pinned.
Oh my. I’m not sure I could make this for fear of eating the whole pan. These look wonderful. That sauce!!! Yum!
Thinking this is happening tonight! 🙂 When you pour the hot water… Do you distribute it around the entire pan or just pour all of it in one or two spots?
All over evenly 🙂
My mum makes a Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding with the brown sugar and boiling water on top the same way as this recipe does, and she always pours the boiling water over the back of a spoon. It spreads the surface area a bit, so it doesn’t create a well into the batter.
That’s a great idea!!
