Eggnog Scones
Today, I’m sharing these flaky eggnog scones made with vanilla, eggnog, and chocolate chips. A true explosion of flavor.
We always go from lots of pumpkin recipes in the fall to peppermint and eggnog recipes for the holidays. ‘Tis the season! This year I’ve been doing a little more experimenting with peppermint and I’ve been pleasantly surprised with how much I’ve enjoyed the minty treats such as my Peppermint Cookie Bark.
However, eggnog makes my heart sing! I’m slightly addicted to Eggnog Lattes. I just love them and wish I could drink one every single day! I also love the memories that come with eggnog. Our family always toasts to eggnog on Thanksgiving each year — and (when we’re together), for breakfast on Christmas morning. Sprinkle a little nutmeg on it, mmmm. Delicious memories {smile}!

I was recently contacted by Safest Choice™ Eggs to participate in an Eggnog Party! What a fabulous idea, to throw a par-tay with an eggnog theme! I was happy to participate. Let’s make these delicious scones, shall we?

Water, for the frosting
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, sift flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Add in the chocolate chips.
Cut in the butter until it’s in small pieces. Create a well in the dry ingredients and add the eggnog, egg, and vanilla extract in the middle. Gently stir until combined.

I would eat scones everyday if I could. And drink egg nog. I know a lot of people think it is gross. I like it more with liquor in it 😉 Now egg nog scones, thats a win-win!
