Remember last week when I made Tyler Blueberry Lemon Coffee Cake for a Monday treat?
Well this Monday, things got a little bit sweeter....
You see, our favorite dessert is berry cobbler or berry pie. We've both agreed it is hands down better than any cake.
The other day when I was on a run (the times when I brainstorm recipes), I thought to myself "it would be pretty impressive if you could create a cookie that had all the elements of berry cobbler".
This thought turned into a quick trip to the store for some berries and a cross-my-fingers prayer that my idea would work.
Wham bam thank you sir, it worked.
I do believe this could quite possibly be the best summertime treat of ALL time.
I do hope you make these.
