# Ingredients:

→ Snickerdoodle Cobbler Base

01 - 1/3 cup salted butter
02 - 3/4 cup milk
03 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
04 - 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
05 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
06 - 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
07 - 3/4 teaspoon salt
08 - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
09 - 1 1/2 cups brown sugar (light or dark)

→ Cinnamon Sugar Topping

12 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
13 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

→ For Serving

14 - Vanilla ice cream

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat and stir constantly until melted and golden brown, about 5 to 8 minutes. Pour the browned butter into a 9x13-inch baking pan and set aside.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well blended.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk together milk, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar until dissolved.
04 - Add the flour mixture to the milk mixture and use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix until just combined. Gently spoon the batter over the browned butter in the baking pan without stirring.
05 - Distribute cream cheese chunks evenly over the surface of the batter. Sprinkle brown sugar over the entire surface.
06 - Carefully pour hot water evenly over the batter and brown sugar. Do not mix. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake at 350°F for 35 to 45 minutes, until golden brown and mostly set with a gooey bottom.
07 - While the cobbler bakes, stir together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl.
08 - Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the warm cobbler. Allow to cool slightly. Serve warm with scoops of vanilla ice cream.

# Notes:

01 - Use room temperature ingredients for optimal batter texture.
