last night, i got the baking itch again. after seeing this post on the Land ‘o’ Lakes Recipe Buzz Blog, i couldn’t help but try it. you see, i LOVE scones. but i’ve never made any that actually tasted good… it’s not my fault. the other recipe was bad. so i made these last night, and oh MAN are they good. they’re a little misleading, though. they definitely aren’t breakfast material, if you drink sweet coffee like i do. these are a perfect dessert with a glass of milk, but with my swiss chocolate peppermint mocha, i almost died from a sugar coma this morning. and last night after eating an undisclosed amount. SO. if you’re looking for a good scone recipe, look no further than the Land ‘o’ Lakes white chocolate cranberry mini scones. 
White Chocolate Cranberry Mini Scones
unfortunately, looking at that huge plate of scones this morning, (that picture was taken AFTER i ate too many last night, and two this morning, and sneaked two into my husband’s lunchbox) it gave me a stomach ache when i realized i’d have to eat them all myself… especially since i haven’t made Santa’s cookies yet, or the chocolate chip cookies my husband adores OR the cinnamon rolls we’ll be having for breakfast on Christmas morning.
i’ve decided to split my batches in half and get one of those cheap decorative tins to bring to Christmas Eve dinner at MIL’s. it’s gonna be one of her Christmas presents. i’ve gotta get some friends around here that i can share my baking with. i love to bake, but if i have to eat all this stuff myself i’m gonna roll myself into an early grave with all these sweets. and i do mean roll.
