How to Make Heart Shaped Dried Cherry And Chocolate Chip Scones
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly butter it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the zest of 1 orange.
- Stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup dried cherries.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 1 large egg yolk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently gather the dough into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, press the dough to a 3/4-inch thickness.
- Use a 2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter (or a knife to cut into triangles) to cut out scones. Gather scraps, re-roll, and cut out more scones.
- Place scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each.
- Brush the scones lightly with milk or cream and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
