Raspberry White Chocolate Chip Scones

Recipe by: Amber (Dessert Now, Dinner Later!)

• 2 cups flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup butter (cold)
• 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3/4 cup frozen raspberries tossed in 1 tsp sugar
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• red/pink sugar crystals
• white chocolate chips (1/2 cup or so to melt for drizzle on top)

1. Preheat oven to 400*F.  In a food processor, pulse the flour, sugar, baking powder, & salt with the cold butter.  Pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Remove mixture from food processor & place in a large bowl.  Add chocolate chips & stir.  Pour in 1/2 cup cream, & add eggs & vanilla.  Combine until it starts to ball up.  
3. Empty contents of bowl onto a floured surface.  Work dough into a disk.  Sprinkle raspberries on top of disk & knead in the raspberries lightly, adding extra flour when necessary to help with sticking (you are trying to achieve a marbled look, so don't completely blend the raspberries.)  You don't want your dough to stick to the counter, but you don't want to add so much flour it dries out; be careful not to overwork the dough.
4. Reshape dough into a disk about 1-inch thick; may use a rolling pin if needed.  Using a pastry brush, dust off any excess flour on the top of the dough.  Using a cookie/biscuit cutter, cut scones into desired shape, dust the flour off the bottoms & place on a greased baking sheet.  Piece scraps together carefully & keep cutting until all dough is used. (Don't overwork dough.)
5. With your pastry brush, using the 1/4 cup of heavy cream, brush the tops of the prepared scones & sprinkle with sugar crystals.  Bake at 400*F for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Once scones have cooled slightly, melt extra chocolate chips in the microwave or your preferred method & drizzle on the top.  Let chocolate harden before serving.  (Or eat them warm & gooey!)

*Makes 15 heart shaped scones
