Chocolate Chip and Cranberry Scones Recipe

Recipe by: KLang436

"Great for dessert or a special breakfast! Not quite as dry as most scones and filled with chocolate in every bite!"

Directions

1Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a food processor; add butter and process until the resulting mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl.
3Stir chocolate chips and cranberries into the flour mixture. Add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing it into the flour mixture with your hands or a spoon.
4Whisk almond milk and vanilla extract together in a small bowl and stir into the mixture with the final addition of almond milk, kneading the resulting dough by hand until it begins to come together, adding extra almond milk as needed to make it moist enough to be workable.
5Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into 11 golf ball-sized spheres and flatten so they resemble a pancake about 3/4-inch thick; arrange onto a baking sheet.
6Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes.

Footnotes

Cook's Notes:
I have also successfully made this recipe with skim milk instead of almond milk. Add more if you prefer moister scones. You can also use fruit juice, like orange, to add a different flavor.
For a more unique flavor, try replacing the vanilla extract with almond extract.
For a more chocolately scone, try replacing 1/4 of the flour with cocoa powder.
