Chocolate Chip Cranberry Scones


Last week I spent some time in the kitchen baking some breakfast items for when our family will be home for Christmas! It's important for me to plan ahead, and put as much as I can in the freezer for the days ahead. 

I tried out this new recipe of Chocolate Chip Cranberry Scones, and also made a recipe that I found a few years ago ... Pumpkin Spice Scones. I love scones, and they are easy to make, and also freeze well. 

Scones are also great to serve for just one or two ... and having them in the freezer works well as you can just pull them out one at a time, and heat up in the microwave.
