Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Cut in butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in the heavy cream and peppermint extract until just combined.
- Fold in white chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape the scones by transferring the dough onto a floured surface and patting it into a circle about 1-inch thick.
- Prepare for baking by placing the cut scones on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with some cream, if desired.

- Cool slightly on a wire rack and drizzle with icing if you like.
