Ingredients

Scones

Drizzle

  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons half-and-half
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°F. Let cookie dough stand at room temperature 10 minutes to soften.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir in flour, walnuts, orange peel, whipping cream and egg with wooden spoon until well blended.
  • 3
    Place dough on lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead lightly 10 times (add additional flour if dough is sticky). Roll or pat dough into 8-inch round. Cut into 8 wedges with sharp knife that has been dipped in flour. Place wedges 2 inches apart on large ungreased cookie sheet.
  • 4
    Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool 10 minutes.
  • 5
    Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, stir together brown sugar, half-and-half and butter. Cook over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Cool 10 minutes. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla. Drizzle over scones. Sprinkle with additional grated orange peel, if desired. Serve warm.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    It may seem counterintuitive, but letting the cookie dough stand at room temperature for 10 minutes will make it a lot easier and faster to mix it with the other ingredients.
  • tip 2
    Serve these day-brighteners with some rosy red preserves, such as cherry or raspberry.
