I enjoyed my Yerba Mate Scones so much that I had to make another version – holiday inspired with chocolate chips and eggnog! The base recipe made with whole wheat pastry flour comes together easily with ingredients you probably have on hand, and you can mix in whatever you like – from traditional dried fruit like currants to mini chocolate chips. 

Actual conversation with me and the seven-year-old

• Me: Mazen would you like a scone?
• Mazen: No thank you scones are gross (makes gagging noise)
• Me: It has chocolate chips in it – see?
• Mazen: Ok yeah sure I’ll have one

How To Make Chocolate Chip Scones

This follows the same basic recipe with whole grain flour, milk and butter. I used whole wheat pastry flour (Whole Foods brand).

Mix the dry ingredients, then work in the butter.

Use clean hands (or a fancy pastry cutter-inner-thingy if you have one) 

Stir in the wet ingredients

Milk or eggnog, an egg, and vanilla.

Form on a parchment lined baking sheet, then bake.

How To Make The Eggnog Glaze

It’s divine!!! Sub any kind of milk if you don’t have eggnog on hand. The nutmeg will give it a hint of the same flavor!

Enjoy your chocolate chip scones with a big cup of tea or coffee for a cozy meal or snack!
