Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°
  • Grease/spray cookie sheets.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt & baking soda.
  • Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until texture is of coarse crumbs.
  • Add milk and orange juice and stir until just combined. Do not over stir.
  • Stir in cranberries and chocolate chips.
  • Drop heaping teaspoonfuls on cookie sheets, about 2" apart. You should have about 30 scones.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of turbinado sugar over each scone.'

Notes

These little scones are packed with major flavor each bite. I find they're best eaten plain, but you could serve with jam, butter or soft, spreadable cheese.
