Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₄ cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter (cold)
• 1 teaspoon Almond extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
• ¹⁄₄ cup Sliced almonds
• ¹⁄₄ cup Sweetened shredded coconut
• ¹⁄₄ cup Semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate small bowl, mix together the almond extract and milk. Pour the mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick.
6. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the sliced almonds, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips over the top of each scone wedge.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
8. Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve the Almond Joy Scones warm or at room temperature.
