Blackberry Cobbler Bars
Description
Blackberry Cobbler Bars start with a base of rich, buttery dough made from unsalted butter, sugar, salt, vanilla (or almond) extract, and all-purpose flour. Two-thirds of this dough is pressed into a pan to form the crust, which serves as a foundation for the fresh blackberry filling. The remaining dough is crumbled over the berries before baking, allowing some berries to peek through and form a mottled golden top.
Baked at 350°F until the top starts to turn golden in spots, these bars develop a tender crust with crumbly edges and juicy berry pockets. The balance of buttery crumble and tart-sweet blackberries gives a classic cobbler flavor in portable bar form. The recipe takes care to avoid overmixing the dough, preserving its crumbly texture.
Once cooled, bars can be lifted out easily using foil edges and sliced. They serve well as a casual snack, dessert, or picnic treat. The simplicity of the ingredients makes these bars easy to prepare with fresh or frozen blackberries, allowing for seasonal adaptation.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter unsalted, at room temperature
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract almond extract works great too
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
filling
- 2 cups blackberries or enough to cover the bottom crust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F Line a 9x9 square baking pan with foil or parchment paper with long ends so you can lift the bars out after they've cooled for easy cutting.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. I do this in my stand mixer, but you can use electric beaters, or do it by hand. Scrape down your bowl a few times to get it evenly incorporated. Beat in the salt and vanilla, then slowly add the flour, mixing just until there is no dry flour left. Don't over mix. The dough will be crumbly.
- Take 2/3 of the dough and crumble it into the bottom of your prepared pan. Flatten gently with floured hands until you get an even layer. Add a bit more dough if needed to completley cover the bottom.
- Arrange the berries evenly over the surface.
- Top with the remaining dough, crumbling it with your fingers as you add it. Some of the berries will show through, that's fine.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is just barely starting to turn golden in spots. Let cool on a rack before lifting the cobbler bars out of the pan for slicing.
