Since it doesn’t seem acceptable to eat chocolate chip cookies for breakfast… says, my parents and my husband…

I found a way to get around it,

I’m sure many more people feel the same way as me, but really….cereal is no better in my opinion!

I made Chocolate Chip SCONES… Scones are perfect for breakfast, and clearly acceptable everywhere. YAY for scones!

 

 

I also think waffles and ice cream are great for breakfast too but I still can’t seem to convince my dad of that one.

I think my mom would agree with me, after all, she is the one who would let me put chocolate chips on pancakes.

Did I mention how much my kids LOVE that I think chocolate chips are acceptable for breakfast,

yea they aren’t young anymore.

When they were young I was a little more responsible with breakfast decisions.

These scones are not only perfect for breakfast, but they are to enjoyed all day long!

Rolling out the dough in between wax paper sheets helps the dough from sticking, lightly flour the wax paper if the dough seems too sticky.

Rolling the dough out using 1/2 inch dowels to guide the rolling pin to keep the scones an even thickness makes for evenly baked uniform scones.

I used a heart shaped biscuit cutter, but any shape will work, or cut them with a knife into squares or triangles.

    1. I don’t have heavy cream, can sour cream or yogurt be used instead and if not what can I use?

    2. You can replace the heavy cream with milk and add a tablespoon more of butter

  1. Look great! I’m going to make these for my Sunday school class on Valentines Day. What a wonderful compliment with the coffee. Thank you so much for the recipe
