Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Heavy cream
• 1 Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup White chocolate chips
• 0.33 cup Crushed peppermint candies
• 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
• 0.25 teaspoon Peppermint extract (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Extra crushed peppermint candies (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candies until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round disk about 1 inch thick. Cut the disk into 8 equal wedges.

Step 8

Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scone.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

Step 10

While the scones cool, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and peppermint extract until you have a smooth, pourable consistency.

Step 11

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones using a spoon or piping bag.

Step 12

Sprinkle extra crushed peppermint candies over the glazed scones for decoration.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
