Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup cold heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp milk or heavy cream (for brushing)
  • Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat and Prep:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cut in the Butter:
    • Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add the Cherries and Chocolate Chips:
    • Stir the chopped dried cherries and mini chocolate chips into the flour mixture.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Shape the Dough:
    • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times.
    • Roll or pat the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
    • Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out scones, re-rolling scraps as needed.
  • Prepare for Baking:
    • Place the heart-shaped scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
    • Brush the tops with milk or heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
  • Bake the Scones:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.
  • Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the scones to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can switch up the dried fruit by adding cranberries, raisins, or even chopped dried apricots.
  • For extra richness, you can drizzle the cooled scones with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk.
  • These scones are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
