I’m a sucker when it comes to pretty holiday foods. I actively seek out opportunities to pull out my seasonal cookie cutters and make sandwiches, tortillas, and cookies even more festive. It’s a sickness, I tell you!

White Chocolate Raspberry Scones Recipe (2)

My scone recipe was the latest victim but just look at those pretty white chocolate raspberry scones. Perfect for a Valentine’s Day breakfast. I even added a handful of white chocolate chips to make them even more decadent this time around. Scones are one of those recipes that appears to be fancy or complicated but is actually incredibly simple. Simple is best!

White Chocolate Raspberry Scones

2 1/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

Gently turn out dough on a generouslyfloured surface and rollinto a 12″ round disc with a rolling pin. You don’t need to knead or work the dough. The less you handle the dough, the better. It will be a sticky dough, just flour your hands and work your dough without handling too much.

Cut with cookie cutter. Repeat with remaining dough scraps, working gently to press dough together before cutting again with cookie cutter.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes on parchment lined baking sheet.

Brush with melted butter.

Serve with a glass of ice cold milk or sparkling apple-cranberry juice for the perfect Valentine’s Day breakfast.

Do you have to use cold butter in scones?

The best pastries come from cold or frozen butter. You can either cut it into tiny cubes and use a pastry cutter or grate frozen butter (my favorite method).

Can you substitute another berry for raspberries in this scones recipe?

Blueberry scones are one of my FAVORITES. They’d be delicious in this recipe as well as blackberries.

My 99cent store had the 48oz containers of smart and final brand cottage cheese last summer! Generally when products are not 99 cents, they sign them as such – so I confirmed and they were 99 cents! I bought all 5! LOL I was a little cottage cheesed out after a while; but I couldn’t pass them up – they dates were still good for about 6 weeks and that size is usually about $5; and I got 5 for $5!! 🙂

These scones were lovely straight out of the oven. Ever so slightly chewy & way better than your average scone. Thank you for the lovely recipe!

I love a good scone. The only place I’ve ever been able to find one that is good is a private gourmet bakery or Starbucks. This recipe is not good. It has no taste. I followed the recipe exactly and although the look just like the picture, they are tasteless. I won’t keep this recipe.

I was wondering how many cookies this will make? I want to make these for a family easter party.

  Hi! This makes about 6 heart shaped scones, depending on the size of your cookie cutter. If you slice your round scone dough into triangles using a pizza cutter instead you can make 8 of them. Hope that helps!

  Hi Sarah! I fixed the wording! It said, “Mash until it resembles coarse crumbs.” Should have said, “Mash butter into flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.” Sorry about that!
