🍓 Crumbl-Inspired Strawberry and Saskatoon Shortcake Cookie Recipe 🍪
Got bags of summer berries in the freezer? This is what they’ve been waiting for. Two toppings, one cookie, and no trip across the border required.
🍪 The Cookies
• ½ cup softened butter
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1¾ cups flour
• 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for that soft bakery centre)
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
1 Cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
2 Mix in egg and vanilla.
3 Fold in dry ingredients until just combined.
4 Divide into 5 large cookies, keeping the dough rough for a bakery-style texture.
5 Bake at 175°C for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely.
🍦 Whipped Cream
• 300 mL heavy cream
• 2 tbsp icing sugar
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp vanilla
Whip until stiff peaks form.
🍓 Strawberry Topping
• 2 cups frozen strawberries, diced
• 2 to 3 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 to 2 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp cold water
Cook strawberries, sugar and lemon juice for 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened. Cool completely. Frozen berries go straight into the pot, no thawing needed.
💜 Saskatoon Topping
Saskatoons don’t release as much juice, so this one stays simple.
• 2 cups saskatoon berries (frozen work beautifully, just let them thaw a little)
• 1 to 2 tbsp sugar, depending on sweetness
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Optional: a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla
Mix everything together and let the berries shine.
Stack it up: cookie, whipped cream, spoonful of topping. Enjoy! ✨
We may be wrapped up for the season, but your freezer stash still counts as picking local. 😉
And if you’re after more fruit, some farms are still open for late-season picking. Visit PFGA at pfga.com to find one near you.
