Perfectly dense and flaky, these cranberry orange scones<\/strong> are bursting with tart cranberries and fresh orange zest. These festive scones look and taste like they came from the bakery, but are surprisingly easy to make at home! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Cranberry Orange Scones are my favorite festive treat to make for a Christmas<\/a> brunch! They\u2019re loaded with juicy cranberries and fresh orange zest, making every bite a citrusy delight. Finished with a light orange glaze, they look and taste like a bakery masterpiece but are super easy to make at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These scones use the same base recipe as my very popular blueberry scones<\/a> and chocolate chip scones<\/a>… Which means the dough can be made the day before and baked fresh the next morning OR frozen to be baked another time. I always make a double batch, that way I can whip them out anytime we have surprise guests.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
