Cranberry Gingerbread Scones
I was sitting in the drive through at Starbucks the other day, waiting to order an americano, and I saw the beloved holiday treat sign. The treat sign with the snow man cookie, gingerbread loaf and all the holiday drinks. Boy oh boy was I super tempted to get a piece of the gingerbread loaf, but I restrained. I figured I didn’t really need the extra sugar. My mouth and brain begged to differ though. Which is why I present you with these Cranberry Gingerbread Scones. They are a healthier option than the Starbucks Gingerbread loaf.
These Cranberry Gingerbread Scones are something to dream about. They are just that good. They aren’t overly sweet and have a delicious spice and gingerbread flavor. The tart cranberries are what really makes them. The tart with the spice. My mouth and stomach are in heaven, or should I say were, because I definitely have eaten my fare share. I hope you enjoy these delicious holiday treats just as much as we did.
