Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 egg separated
  • 3 Tablespoons honey
  • 1/3 cup Coffee-mate Peppermint Creamer
  • 1/2 cup Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips

For Chocolate Drizzle

  • 2 ounces dark chocolate (I used 85%)
  • 1 Tablespoon Coffee-mate Peppermint Creamer
  • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly, using a pastry blender. You should have little pea-size balls throughout this mixture.
  • Separate the egg white and the yolk. Set the egg white aside.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the egg yolk, honey, and Peppermint Creamer. Add to the dry mixture and mix until just combined.
  • You don't want to work it too much or it won't turn out quite as flaky. You don't want a cookie batter consistency. Just barely mixed.
  • Form dough into a ball on a floured surface. Roll or pat out to half an inch in thickness and eight inches in diameter. Cut into eight equally-sized pieces.
  • Transfer to a greased baking sheet. Whisk the egg white until froth forms and brush over the tops of scones. Mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over egg-white-topped scones.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown.
  • While scones are baking, create 2 separate chocolate drizzles. Create the peppermint chocolate drizzle by microwaving the dark chocolate and Peppermint Creamer for 15 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until completely melted. Once melted, put chocolate into a small plastic sandwich bag, zip up, and snip off a tiny corner. Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave by themselves. Place in a baggie and snip off a tiny corner in that bag as well.
  • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the scones once they have cooled slightly.
