The perfect combination of tangy and sweet, these cranberry white chocolate scones taste just like the ones from the coffee shop!

Cranberries and white chocolate. Whoever came up with the idea of that combination first should be lauded daily. The tangy bite of cranberries, and the sweet of the white chocolate chips make an amazing combination.
These scones taste just like the coffeehouse, but now you can make coffeehouse scones at home. A batch of scones can be easily made, start to finish, in the time it can take for a pot of fresh coffee to percolate.
Cranberry bliss scones are the perfect breakfast treat, and can be enjoyed any time of day.

What kind of cranberries should I use?
For this recipe, I used dried cranberries. However, you can use fresh cranberries or frozen cranberries for this. If you choose to use frozen, you will want to thaw them and drain before adding to the recipe. This will keep from too much moisture being added into your scones.

How to store these scones
Cranberry white chocolate scones will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You could also freeze them, wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap, and keep them for up to 2 months. Of course, that is saying that they will last long enough to try and freeze.
