Looking for the ultimate summer dessert? This sourdough mixed berry cobbler is the perfect way to welcome in the warmer months. Sweet and juicy berries are tossed with sugar, piled into a baking dish, and then topped with a delicious sourdough sugar cookie topping.

Scale
Berry Filling
- 2 cups blueberries
- 2 cups strawberries, chopped
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Cookie Dough
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sourdough starter discard
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
Instructions
- Begin by preheating oven to 375 degrees.
- Prepare the fruit filling: To a large bowl, add the blueberries, strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and flour. Stir and set aside while you prepare the cookie topping.
- For the cookie topping: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a medium bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until combined. Beat in the egg, sourdough discard, and vanilla extract until light (about 1 minute). Begin adding in the dry ingredients, mixing until thoroughly combined.
- In a well seasoned cast iron skillet, pie dish, or lightly greased 9 x 9 baking dish, pour in the fruit mixture, spreading evenly throughout the baking dish. Using a cookie scoop or large spoon, scoop out large dollops of the cookie dough, placing them evenly around the top of the fruit mixture.
- Bake in preheated oven for 27-30 minutes or until golden brown on top and the fruit is bubbly around the edges of the pan.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with a generous dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Store in an airtight container to enjoy for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Filling Variations: The options are pretty endless here! Feel free to use any combination that you enjoy. Fresh blackberries would be a lovely addition, as well as peaches. I use a combination of peaches and blueberries in this peach blueberry crisp recipe, which is heavenly!
- Toppings: I love to make homemade whipped cream and pile it high on top of the cobbler. Homemade vanilla ice cream is also a welcome addition.
- Storage: This cobbler can easily be stored in airtight container in the fridge (without ice cream or whipped cream) for up to 3 days.
