Chocolate Chip-Cranberry Scones

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix it up real good!
  3. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You can use a pastry cutter or your fingers—whatever feels right!
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips and dried cranberries. Keep that sweetness coming!
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Once combined, pour this into your flour mixture.
  6. Mix everything until just combined—don’t overdo it! You want your scone dough to be nice and tender.
  7. On a floured surface, turn the dough out and gently knead it a couple of times. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
  8. Cut the dough into triangles (like a pizza!) and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they’re golden brown and smelling absolutely incredible.
  10. Let them cool for a few minutes, then enjoy them warm with a cup of tea or coffee. You deserve this deliciousness!
