Easy Blueberry Ginger Cookie Cobbler. This is your classic, old-fashioned cobbler—with a deliciously unexpected twist. Summer blueberries baked beneath a soft, chewy brown sugar cookie topping with hints of molasses and warm ginger. It’s like a gingery blueberry cookie in cobbler form—and when served warm with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, it’s completely delicious.
I am so excited to share this one with you. I’ve been testing the recipe over the past month—between travel and stormy summer weather, it took a little time for this cobbler to fully come to life. But once it did… it became something really special.
At first, I started with my go-to cinnamon-spiced topping. It was delicious, but I kept feeling like it needed something more. Then it hit me—molasses and ginger! The combo adds just the right amount of moisture, depth, and that cozy, spiced cookie flavor we all love in a gingerbread or snack cookie.
Mix in warm, jammy blueberries, and the result is something a little different—but so delicious. It’s simple to make, cozy but summery, and such a fun twist on a classic. Trust me, you have to try this one!
Let’s Talk Through Details

- molasses
- vanilla

Special Tools
Nothing fancy – just a baking dish and a couple of mixing bowls. You don’t even need to do any chopping for the berry cobbler!
Steps
Step 1: Melt the butter
Preheat the oven to 375°F. While it’s heating, place a stick of butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish (or something similar in size) and set it in the oven to melt. Keep an eye on it so the butter doesn’t burn—just melt until fully liquid and golden.
Step 2: Mix the batter
While the butter melts, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Stir in the brown sugar, molasses (trust me on this one!), vanilla, and milk. Mix until just combined. The batter should be pourable—similar to thick pancake batter. If needed, add a splash of milk to loosen it slightly.
Step 3: Prep the berries
In a bowl, toss the fresh blueberries with brown sugar and a couple tablespoons of flour. This helps thicken the filling as it bakes and makes the berries jammy and sweet.
Step 4: Assemble and bake
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir! Spoon the sugared blueberries over the batter. As the cobbler bakes, the batter will rise up around the fruit, creating a golden, cookie-like crust.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is set and golden and the berries are bubbling around the edges. Your kitchen will smell incredible!
Step 5: Serve and enjoy
Let the cobbler cool for 10–15 minutes, then serve warm with scoops of vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream. It’s cozy, nostalgic, and dangerously delicious. The brown sugar ginger cookie topping is truly what makes this cobbler extra special—and totally addicting!
