Ingredients
For the scones:

1/4 cup of granulated sugar
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup of dried cranberries
1/2 cup of milk
1 egg
For the glaze:
1 cup of powdered sugar
1 tablespoon of milk
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the dried cranberries and make a well in the center of the mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour this mixture into the well in the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently until it comes together. Roll it out into a 1-inch thick circle and cut into 8 wedges.
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown on the edges.
While the scones are cooling, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones and serve them warm or at room temperature.
These Christmas scones are the perfect addition to any holiday breakfast or brunch. The warm spices and sweet cranberries make them a festive treat that everyone will love.
