  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

Instructions

  11. Once the scones are cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.

Notes

  • For a sweeter glaze, add more powdered sugar.
  • These scones are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
  • Feel free to substitute dried cranberries if fresh ones are not available.
