hi everyone!
my friend dr. sharon (she’s a dentist!) gave me a terrific recipe for chocolate chip scones…
pre-heat oven to 375 degrees f.
ingredients…detailed below:
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup sugar
1-1/2 tsp vanilla
1 large egg
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup (half stick) unsalted butter…chilled
milk chocolate chips- as much or as little as you want… i used WAY too much!
put the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor and pulse it for 30 seconds to combine all ingredients…alton brown says to do this with dry ingredients all the time (sometimes dry ingredients includes sugar other times it doesn’t)!
grate the butter using a box grater.
rub the butter into the dry ingredients (flour sugar etc.) – there should be some pea size crumbs…and put this mixture into the freezer while you combine the wet ingredients (egg, vanilla and heavy cream).
take the mixture from the freezer, make a well in the center, pour in the wet ingredients and combine with rubber spatula (or wooden spoon)… once combined add the chocolate chips.
place the dough on a cookie sheet or parchment paper, knead the dough for a minute (not too much i don’t think). using a round (or heart shaped or square!) biscuit cutter make individual scones (or you can make a circle and use a knife to make scone wedges).
place them on parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
bake for 20 minutes till lightly browned on top.
the recipe makes 8 scones.
easy and yummy and way decadent!
on friday, my mom’s friend holly gave me an awesome blinged out sweatshirt!
closeup of bling…i do LOVE bling!

I LOVE the sweatshirt, and the scones look yummy!!!
I love that sweatshirt!
I don’t listen to your show, but I’m a big fan of your blogs and updates. I don’t have Sirrus, but if I did, I’d listen.
Hope your boot camp is going well.
All the “boot camp” in the world can’t undo what those scones just did to your hips.
hey.. weekend good here in sunny venice CA. miss your blogs.. both of you guys….fiill us in. super fan… x
Those scones look to good to eat. Next time make a double batch and send me half. Great cooking Jennifer.
That bedazzled sweatshirt is Jewrific! Bring it to work this coming week and make Alexis wear it for a picture!
Those scones looks delicious, another great recipe to try…thanks. I had delicous scones at High Tea on Saturday…yum!!! Nice sweatshirt.
Hey Jennifer,
I say 4-get the boot camp and make more scones they looked amazing and the bedazzled sweatshirt well need I say more I AM from georgia!!!!! I Just recently had to start using a walking cane because of severe back problems and I painted it hot pink and and bedazzled it, My Dr. said she thinks it looks great and I may have a new business venture on my hands ha ha I am a huge fan of both of you but dont get to listen because I cant work any more and Social Security is taking their time about my diability, but I definatly read your blogs daily and always wany more.

Amy
I love the scones recipe, but how can you ever adhere to your WW points and now your boot camp routine when you bake all that delicious stuff all the time!
the scones look wonderful, I’m going to try them out this week, and bring them in to work.
I saw on the show site that the handbag show is going to be re played can’t wait to see it, I’ll have to TIVO it.
have a great day!
could the sweatshirt be more tacky? If you get a picture of Alexis in it I’ll shut up
The scones look yummy. I highly recommend the scone pan King Arthur Flour sells (www.kingarthurflour.com). You pat the dough into it, and they come out looking really professional! I’m not usually much on mixes, but King Arthur also has some great all-natural scone mixes
Wait – a dentist gave you that recipe?? I hope it comes with a free cleaning 🙂 They look super yummy.
hi jen devas they sure want everthung thier way oh well friends listen to thier ratty friends and new orlenas will judge they will see the same thing i see and $$$$$$$$$$ doesnt rule work and friendship rule OH well how you doing do you ever feel like sandwish meat stuck in the middle again sorry but you try 65 times thats not much just broke in nothing like mom oh well K.A. happy trails
Yummy! I made the scones tonight and they are great. My husband was so impressed, but they were so easy. I used a little more vanilla–you can never have too much. Thanks for sharing.
What if the vanilla was not a liquid and instead in a white powder form? Is that OK or does it make the dough dry?
yum yum yum looks good to me jen oh i see A is being herself a slacker K
I don’t know about the white powder vanilla–I’ve never heard of that. Scones are a little dry naturally, but you might just add a little extra cream to compensate. I can’t imagine that it would throw it way off.
I made the scones last night and my 12 year-old son and I love them! I really liked the milk chocolate chips. Actually, I forgot to add the vanilla so I added it to the dough at the last moment, kneaded it in, and they turned out fine. Thanks!
we love scones!!!! an d we will try to make them…..
and the sweatshirt is soooooo cool
I can’t believe someone would take the time to log on and write what this guy Dan did. What an asshole! I am sorry for any females he MAY have in his life and I hope he is not a father as well. I mean really it’s just a scone recipe dude!

With a friend like you…..who needs an enemy…I heard the show when you went on about three black guys hitting on Alexis in one day. What is YOUR problem Jennifer?? And, then to post this picture, I can’t imagine where your brains are.
Where’s your brains Harry? You posted this under scones and a sweatshirt.
Unlike you Obama-Oeight aka leo, have other things to do than reply to a blog everyday…….what is it to you? you take exception to pictures of a homeless guy as coming on to Alexis?
