Cookies and Cream Scones

August 6, 2014 ·

Cookies and Cream Scones are light, buttermilk scones studded with chunks of cream-filled chocolate cookies!

Pastries, muffins, doughnuts and scones are often enjoyed as a delicious breakfast treat. However sometimes I find there is a grey area as to whether or not those treats actually qualify as breakfast. They may not quite be dessert either, but perhaps more suitable for an afternoon treat, such as an old-fashioned afternoon tea. At least that is what I envisioned while putting a modern twist on a traditional scone recipe for these Cookies and Cream Scones!
