Nog Cinnamon Chip Scones Recipe

I love seasonal cooking. Certain flavors just escort us into a holiday season beautifully. Eggnog accompanied by cinnamon and nutmeg are tastes that just scream Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have, in the past, revealed my favorite way to prepare eggnog and also given you these amazing eggnog sandwich cookies. Today I get to introduce you to an addicting breakfast Nog Cinnamon Chip Scones Recipe that will help you turn your morning into one more way to celebrate holiday flavors.

International Delights is introducing their seasonal line that includes nog and hot chocolate. I used the International Delight Nog – Very Vanilla to create this scone recipe.

How to make Nog Cinnamon Chip Scones

Preheat oven to 400 and move rack to the lower position.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.
Grate butter into flour mixture using the large holes on a grater; use your hands to work in butter.
Stir in the cinnamon chips.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the nog, vanilla and egg.
Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until all is moistened and holds together.
Press into a bowl using the side of the bowl.
Prepare a lightly floured surface and press into a 7-8 inch circle that is 3/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle with 1 tsp sugar.
Using a sharp knife, cut your circle into 8 equal wedges.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and carefully add your wedges to the cookie sheet, placing about 1 inch apart.
Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool.
To make glaze, rapidly whisk together all ingredients until smooth.
Using a whisk, drizzle glaze onto cooled scones.

I always love to get my kids involved in making recipes. Cooking and baking are great lessons in not only chef-like skills, but also can be used to help teach reading, writing and measuring. Further, the kitchen is a time of bonding for a family. I would love to see pictures of your family baking these together.

As a gift, I delivered some of these scones to my neighbor. After her family consumed them, she immediately texted to ask for the recipe. She said, “You made that up?!?! Seriously these are way better then Starbucks! Wow!” I don’t share this to brag. I tell you so that you will be encouraged to add this recipe to your Christmas food arsenal. Bon Appetit.
