Cookies and Cream Scones

I have made the plain raisin scones before and they were quite good. Ask my Mom. When she comes down from New York to visit I send her back home with a batch. She will eat one with her coffee on the way home and the rest she shares with the rest of our family.
I love Oreo cookies and cookie and cream icecream. I usually add crushed Oreo cookies to my icecream lol. These new scones are to die for. Oh they are so good. Can't wait till Mom comes to visit so she can take these home with her. They will be gone 1...2...3.. at home lol. I think any scones are good the next day but these were really good the day I made them.

Ingredients

1 Cup of heavy cream *
1 large egg
2 cups of all purpose flour
3 tablespoons of sugar
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
5 tablespoons of unsalted butter cold and cut into small pieces
1 cup of crushed Oreo cookies
1 cup of white chocolate chips

* extra cream for brushing the scones before baking ( about 3 tablespoons or so )

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking pan with parchment paper or us a silpat.  ( I love the one i use for when I make cookies )
In a small bowl mix the 1 cup of heavy cream and the egg till thoroughly blended. Set aside. In a bigger mixing bowl add your flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.
Add the butter to the flour mixture and using a pastry cutter or fork blend it with the flour till it looks like crumbs.
Pour the cream mixture in with the flour mixture and combine till it all comes together. You do not want to over mix this. Then add in the cookies and the chocolate. Stir till combined.
Flour your working surface with a little flour then take the mixture and press it till it forms a ball then cut in half. Take one half and press to form a circle then cut the circle like you would cutting a pizza pie. Put the scones on the parchment paper and brush with cream. Repeat with other ball of dough.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until they are firm. Let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. You can drizzle a mixture of powered sugar, milk and vanilla with a little cream cheese on top.

Yummy! Enjoy!
