The image shows four soft cookies with chocolate chips and small bits of red fruit, placed on a small white plate. Behind the plate is a white basket lined with a colorful cloth featuring red, pink, orange, and brown circular flower-like patterns, filled with more cookies. Nearby, a small red cup filled with dark coffee sits on the white marbled surface, alongside two fresh red strawberries.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup fresh strawberries

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Step 2: Chop the fresh strawberries into small pieces.
Step 3: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon.
Step 4: Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Mix until the mixture is almost fully blended but still crumbly.
Step 5: Pour in the maple syrup. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together, then add this to the flour mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 6: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped strawberries until evenly distributed.
Step 7: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a greased cookie sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart.
Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 9: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your scones warm or at room temperature.

Tips & Variations

For a dairy-free option, replace butter with a plant-based alternative and use almond or oat milk.
Try swapping strawberries for blueberries or raspberries for a different berry flavor.
If you prefer a sweeter touch, drizzle extra maple syrup over the scones before serving.
Chill the dough for 15 minutes before baking to help scones hold their shape better.

Storage

Store the scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving to bring back their fresh-baked texture.
