Drop Scones image

These scones are soooooooo delicious and simple to make. I sent some to my brother in Iraq and all his soldiers loved them!!! These are great because they're not overly sweet, but completely delicious.

Time 27m

Yield 24-36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup margarine
1 egg, well beaten plus
milk, to make 1 cup
1 cup dried cranberries (my favorite) or 1 cup mini chocolate chip (my favorite)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450. Grease or spray a large cookie sheet.
  • Stir together dry ingredients including the sugar. Cut butter into flour mixture. Add raisins (or whatever you use), stir to mix well.
  • Beat egg in measuring cup. Add milk to make 1 cup. Stir into flour.
  • Drop roughly tablespoon size scoops on cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • (You can knead 15-20 times and roll out and cut if you wish -- but I prefer the ease of the drop method.).
