Eggnog Cinnamon Chip Scones

November 18, 2013 by Jodie 1 Comment

These Eggnog Cinnamon Chip Scones are some of the first scones that our family ever tried. They started our love affair with all scones.

Ordinarily, I’m a firm believer in nothing Christmasy until after Thanksgiving. I’ve even trained my 5 year old who complains at stores that they “skipped Thanksgiving” and went straight to Christmas. Last week, though, my husband and I went on a trip to the east coast. For some reason since coming back,I am ready for all things Christmas! It could be because I grew up there and it was simply nostalgia, or maybe it was the beautiful trees in their wonderful colors that made me feel like I had actually experienced fall for the first time in years. Whatever it was, I am ready for the Christmas season and all the flavors that come with it.

I decided to start with these scones made with eggnog and my whole family was glad I did. The eggnog add a great flavor and make the scones so moist and delicious!

My kids helped me make these and I let them pick the shapes we used. They chose a snowman and a plain circle. They both turned out wonderfully although the kids thought the snowmen tasted better (which is why there was none to take a picture of once they were finished).
