Chocolate Chip Peppermint Scones...
Thursday Cooking Day!
Thursday's are our official cooking day for the summer. We had so much fun today spending time together in the kitchen. My little girl chose the recipe for today which came out of the "Pink Princess Cookbook" ... of course.
These scones were perfect for my little people to help make and they loved using different shaped cookie cutters. Plate these up with a big glass of milk, OR if you are in the mood, you could have a big hot cup of cocoa like my son did. It was just way to tempting for him. Luckily, we had a massive hail and rain storm right while we were enjoying our snack, so it seemed very appropriate. Try having a cooking day with your children... I promise it is time well spent!
Chocolate Chip Peppermint Scones1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup plus 2 tbsp. whipping cream
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies
Powdered sugar for dusting
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until well combined. Add chocolate chips and toss to coat. Pour 1 cup whipping cream into mixture, stirring just until ingredients are moistened. Turn mixture onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently until soft dough forms (about 2 minutes). Pat dough out to about 1" thick. Cut into shapes.
Place scones 1 inch apart on foil-lined baking sheet. Brush each scone with the remaining 2 tbsp. whpping cream and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies.
Bake 15 - 20 minutes or until very lightly browned. Serve warm and dusted with powdered sugar.
Yields 12 scones
