CRANBERRY CHOCOLATE SCONES
Tart cranberries and sweet chocolate make a perfect match in these Cranberry Chocolate Scones. They mix up quickly, thanks to self-rising flour. Be sure to stash some in the freezer since they freeze beautifully and allow you to bake scones on demand so easily.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
- Coarsely chop the cranberries with a knife on a cutting board or in the food processor fitted with the metal blade. If using the food processor, wipe out the bowl before proceeding.
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with metal blade, measure in the flour and sugar. Secure the lid and pulse briefly to mix.
- Add the butter pieces and process until coarse crumbs are formed. (If you do not have a food processor, the same effect can be achieved in a mixing bowl with a pastry blender, fork, or two table knives held together.)
- Pour the crumb mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add the cranberries and chocolate chips. Toss to coat.
- No need to wash the processor bowl. In the bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla extract. Or whisk them together in a mixing bowl.
- Slowly pour the wet ingredients into dry crumb mixture and stir quickly, just until a shaggy dough forms. Overmixing will result in tough scones.
- Empty the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead three or four times with floury hands. The dough will be sticky.
- Shape dough into a large, flat rectangle. Cut into 12 squares. Separate the squares carefully. Alternatively, you can cut out 24 2-inch rounds with a cutter. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, allowing about an inch of space between them.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool slightly on a rack while you prepare the glaze.
- To prepare the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, remaining 1 teaspoon extract and the milk. Add more milk if necessary to create a drizzling texture.
- Drizzle the glaze over the slightly warm scones. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
- Store the scones in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.

CHOCOLATE CHIP-CRANBERRY SCONES
My daughter started making these as a "healthy" alternative to cookies since we seem to like cookies of any kind. I've never been able to eat just one, so this recipe seemed perfect for us. -Nichole Jones, Idaho Falls, Idaho

LEMONY CRANBERRY HAZELNUT SCONES WITH LEMON GLAZE
I make these for teachers for Valentine's Day, but they are wonderful any day of the week. They are tender and flaky and lemony. You can use dried cranberries (which I do) and leave out the nuts if you'd like. The glaze is wonderful, and I haven't found a person who doesn't just love these scones.
