CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY SCONES

Chocolate Cranberry Scones are a delicious marriage of semi-sweet chocolate, tart cranberries and a citrusy orange glaze. Don't forget to freeze some of the dough so you can enjoy these any time the mood strikes!

INGREDIENTS

– All-purpose flour – Sugar – Baking powder – Salt – COLD butter – Eggs – Heavy whipping cream – Dried cranberries – Miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips – Orange peel – Powdered sugar – Orange juice – Vanilla

In a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Do not overwork the dough.

INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium bowl combine eggs, heavy cream, cranberries, chocolate and orange peel. Add egg mixture to flour mixture. Stir using a fork until just moistened.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead dough for 10 - 15 strokes until it is nearly smooth.

Divide dough in half. Roll each portion into a 6" circle. Cut each circle into six wedges. We used a cutter and just made round pieces instead of wedges.
