These scones are flaky in the center with slightly crisp edges; and if you happen to be like me and you don’t have an overly strong sweet tooth, you might think you’ve gone to heaven with this recipe.
This recipe is from my friend Christina’s newest cookbook and I can’t rave about both the recipe and her book enough. Sweet & Simple is the name of the cookbook and it’s named perfectly. This book is filled with small-batch dessert recipes perfect for one, or two or four people. (And yes, if you’re feeding a crowd, the recipes can easily be doubled or tripled.) The beauty of small-batch recipes is that there won’t be 42 cookies left hanging around the next day. I frequently reduce my own recipes by half or more when I’m craving something sweet and I don’t need to have all the extra sweets hanging around later. These not-too-sweet scones are one of the most irresistible things I’ve eaten in a long time. I swore off scones years ago because I never can eat just one. These scone cookies? They’re truly impossible to resist. How do I know that? I made the scones on Tuesday and ate half the batch within an hour. (I’d insert an embarrassed face here if we were texting about this!) I made the scones again yesterday because I couldn’t get them out of my mind and I wanted to share them with you as soon as possible. Never made a scone? Fear not, they’re pretty much the easiest baked good out there. I made you this quick little video just to show you how simple they are to make. (And if you check out the video, you’ll get an idea of just how obsessed I am with this cookbook. I have post it notes all over it!)
Kitchen Tip: I use this scoop and this baking sheet to make this recipe.
