Ingredients Notes
For this recipe, you’ll need a mix of seasonal berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, which can be fresh or frozen. If fresh berries aren’t available, simply use frozen ones directly, without thawing. The sugar cookie mix can be homemade or store-bought — whichever you prefer. A touch of lemon zest added to the berries brightens the flavors, making each bite vibrant and fresh.
Recipe Steps
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it to prevent the berries from sticking.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine your mixed berries with sugar and a tablespoon of flour to help thicken the filling. Add a teaspoon of lemon zest and mix gently.
Step 3
Transfer the berry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Ensure the berries are in a single layer for even baking.
Step 4
Prepare the sugar cookie dough according to package instructions or use your preferred recipe. Place small spoonfuls of the dough over the berries, covering as much surface area as possible.

Variations & Substitutions
For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free sugar cookie mix. If you’re vegan, opt for a plant-based cookie dough variant and substitute honey with agave syrup. For an added crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts like almonds or pecans over the top before baking.
