Almond Chip Scones image

For bridal showers or other special occasions, I often triple the recipe for these moist scones. You can try blueberries instead of chocolate chips and almonds. Or cut the dough into strips like biscotti, bake them and dip them into coffee.

I'm not a big fan of almond flavor, so I was hesitant to try these scones. But I'm glad I did! The almond chips were the perfect addition and the scones were so moist and fluffy.

These almond chip scones were a delightful treat! The texture was flaky and moist, and the almond chips added a lovely crunch and nutty flavor. I especially enjoyed the hint of sweetness from the glaze.
