These amazing Ridiculously Easy Chocolate Chip Cherry Scones will stop you in your tracks with the first melt-in-your-mouth delicious bite! The vanilla almond-kissed glaze really seals the deal and you can put them together in less than 10 minutes (hands-on time)!
I've decided that I'm either getting old or soft. Why? Well, when my kids were growing up they'd sometimes (longingly) ask if we could buy Cocoa Puffs (is that still a thing?) chocolate cereal. I always told them, "We don't do chocolate for breakfast!". Now I'm thinking that maybe I was wrong. Or maybe these FABULOUS Ridiculously Easy Chocolate Chip Cherry Scones just made me turn over a new leaf!
Actually, I don't really care if you call me old or soft... these scones make breakfast, (or brunch, afternoon tea... any time of day) extraordinarily special and my new mantra is this, "Starting the day with a little chocolate makes everything a little better." (please don't tell my kids)!
In defense of these delicious scones, there's only a half cup of mini chocolate chips in the recipe so you're really not indulging terribly, just a little taste of chocolate in each bite.
The vanilla almond-kissed glaze is kind of the crème de la crème for these sweet treats. I call it almond-kissed because there's just a hint of almond extract in the glaze. I love almond extract (and think cherries and almonds are a match made in heaven) but it is a strong flavor and it can easily be overdone.
Great scones aren't so easy
If you've ever made scones (really good scones) in the past, you know that they can be a little tricky as you don't just throw everything in a bowl and stir it up. But not these guys! With a simple brilliantly genius trick, you can have these Ridiculously Easy Chocolate Chip Cherry Scones ready for the oven in less than 10 minutes (hands-on time).
How does it work?
I was hoping you'd ask! I love this amazing little trick for making biscuits and scones that I learned a number of years ago from the super-smart folks over at Cook's Illustrated. They figured out that flaky traditional biscuits, which required a somewhat laborsome technique of "cutting butter into flour" creating small pockets of butter could be achieved in a much easier way.
They somehow figured out that if you chilled buttermilk in the freezer for a short stint then added melted butter to the cold buttermilk, it would create little "globules" of butter (see the pic below) suspended in the liquid. When added to the dry ingredients (flour, leavening agents, sugar and salt), the same little pockets of butter would appear.
I tried it with biscuits and the results were phenomenal, so I applied the same technique to scones and the rest is history! We have a myriad of biscuit and scone recipes (including these Ridiculously Easy Chocolate Chip Cherry Scones) that use this easy technique. Because it truly is so much easier than the classic technique we dubbed the new technique Ridiculously Easy.

Café Tips for Making these Ridiculously Easy Chocolate Chip Cherry Scones
- If your cream mixture doesn't form the "clumps" or "globules", your cream probably wasn't cold enough. You can stick the whole mixture in the freezer for another 5-8 minutes, then stir with a fork and you should see the clumps.
- Dried cherries are quite large so I like to chop them roughly with a knife before adding them to the dry ingredients. You get a nice taste of cherry with each bite but they're not overwhelming.
- Dried cherries can be kind of hard especially if they're not perfectly fresh. This recipe compensates for that by soaking the cherries in boiling water for a short time before chopping and adding to the recipe. Just be sure to drain them well and follow the directions for drying them off (with a paper towel). You don't want a lot of extra water or the scones will spread too much in the oven.
- Don't skip the cornstarch. I've discovered that a spoonful of cornstarch helps keep the scones from spreading in the oven.
- Don't overmix scone dough but make sure all of the flour at the bottom of the bowl is incorporated before scooping up the scones.
- You can make these scones up to 12 hours ahead of time. Just scoop them up onto your sheet pan, cover lightly with plastic wrap and pop the whole tray into the refrigerator. When ready to bake, transfer to the oven and bake as directed. They will take a minute or two longer to bake.
- You can also make these Chocolate Chip Cherry Scones and freeze them, unbaked. Pull as many as you want out of the freezer and bake as directed, adding about 3-5 minutes extra to the total baking time. You want to look for a pretty golden brown color..
- Scones are really best on the day that they're made. However, if you have some leftover, just pop them (one at a time) in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. They will be almost like fresh out of the oven.
- I use a 2-ounce (4-tablespoon) cookie scoop for these scones and get a yield of 12-14 round scones. A retractable cookie scoop (aka ice cream scooper) like this is super useful for making uniform-shaped, cookies, biscuits, scones, etc.
- I like to spray the scoop with cooking spray to prevent the dough from sticking to the scoop.
- This recipe calls for lining a sheet pan with parchment paper. This is optional but is nice for easy cleanup. I love these pre-cut parchment paper sheets. They come in a flat box for easy storage, are perfect for cookies, scones, biscuits, cake, etc. and a box will last forever.
- One last little trick. This scone recipe (and many other recipes) calls for melting butter in the microwave. If you've ever melted butter in the microwave, you know that it can spatter and make a mess. It helps to cover the bowl with a paper towel but often, when you open the microwave, you'll discover that the fan or the motion (if you have a turntable) has blown the paper towel off and there's still a mess. If you simply wash your hands and dry them on the paper towel before using it in the microwave, the dampness will keep it in place and your microwave will stay sparkling clean!
Thought for the day:
Fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed,
for I am your God;
I will strengthen you,
I will help you,
I will uphold you
with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10

Ridiculously Easy Chocolate Chip Cherry Scones
Ingredients
For the scones:
- ½ cup dried cherries
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
For the glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoon milk or half and half, maybe more
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon pure almond extract
Instructions
For the scones:
- Place the cherries in a small bowl and cover with boil water. Set aside while you prep the other ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper (you'll need 2 sheet pans for smaller scones). Set an oven rack on the middle level of the oven.
- Measure 1 cup heavy cream and place it in the freezer for 10 minutes. Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with a paper towel and heat on high for 1 minute. If not completely melted, return to the microwave for 10-second intervals till melted. Set aside to cool a bit while prepping other ingredients.
- Whisk flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium-size bowl. Stir to combine and then add the chocolate chips and stir again. Set aside.
- Drain the cherries well then turn out onto several thicknesses of paper toweling. Wrap the cherries in the paper towels tightly to remove any excess moisture. Transfer the cherries to a cutting board and roughly chop them with a sharp knife.
- Transfer the cherries to the bowl with the flour mixture and stir well.
- After heavy cream has been chilled in the freezer for 10 minutes, combine it with the melted butter. Stir with a fork until butter forms small clumps or globules (see the picture above in the post).
- Add the cream mixture to the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until all flour is incorporated. The batter will be very thick, like cookie dough. Don't over mix it, but you do make sure all the little flour bits are incorporated.
- Spray a cookie scooper (see Café Tips above) or large spoon with non-stick cooking spray. Scoop up scones in mounds onto the prepared pan. Space the scones at least 2-inches apart to allow for some spreading.
- Refrigerate scones for at least 15 minutes (longer is fine).
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until light golden brown. Transfer to a wire cooling rack.
For the glaze:
- While the scones are baking, make the vanilla almond glaze. Combine the powdered sugar, milk (or half and half) and extracts in a medium-size bowl. Whisk well until smooth to make a thick, but spoonable glaze. (If the glaze is too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar, if too thick add a little more milk or half and half.) Place a sheet pan or piece of foil under the cooling rack and spoon the glaze over the warm scones as soon as they come out of the oven, You can either come the scones completely or just drizzle the icing over the scones. Any excess icing will drip onto the sheet pan or foil. If you can wait, let the glaze set before serving.
- Store in an airtight container or freeze for longer storage.

We’ve gathered our favorite kitchen tools, tableware, and entertaining treasures in one place, the Café Loves store. It’s a wonderful spot to find something special for yourself or the cooks and hosts you love!
Just one of the reasons I love your recipes is the little tricks of the trade you offer that actually work as well as you say they do. I've used your just-washed-hands to paper towel to microwave-melted butter bowl trick ever since I first read it - elegantly simple and simply brilliant! And I just found another related trick: after putting your pieces of butter in the bowl or glass measuring cup, tuck the butter wrapper down on top of them, and hit "Start"! It's just exactly big enough and also works like a charm!
Aww, thanks so much John! And now I learned a new trick from you! That's awesome!
I’m a huge fan of your site…and have been enjoying your scone recipes and “ridiculously easy” process for them. A question for you…though cream, butter, flour, and sugar amounts are the same, I’m confused by the differences in other ingredients, example: some only baking powder, but some also use baking soda, cornstarch, or both - even when the fruit or mix-ins seems similar.
Thanks!
Hi Lindsay,
That's a great question! I'm always trying to improve my recipes, so I'm forever trying new things. That's why you might see different ingredients in the scone recipes, although the wonderful technique stays the same.
These scones are ABSOLUTELY 5 star !!!
My husband and I enjoy them anytime of day!!!
I would love to give them as gifts, please send labels information!!
Thanks!!!
Awesome! Thank you, Barbara! Sending the labels your way.
Thank you for another great recipe! These are now my favorite scones. The recipe is easy to follow. It's reasonably quick, but I wish it produced more (and so does the neighbor I shared with).
Is it possible to successfully double or even triple this recipe?
Hi Suella, so happy you have enjoyed this recipe! In regards to your question, yes, the recipe can be doubled!
I love your scone recipes!! The BEST! The lemon poppyseed scone recipe is my absolute favorite.
I was wondering if I could omit the cherries in this one and just make chocolate chip scones?
Thanks, Debbie! That will work!
Love your recipes, & I'm about to try a gluten-free version (thanks to one of your readers comments) with fingers crossed.
Would you kindly send me the labels please & thanks?
Blessings!
Sending them your way, Lisa!
Hi! I'm so excited to make these! I'm making them for a bridal shower and want to make them smaller. Also, I'd like to make them on Thursday and bake them on Saturday morning. Would you recommend freezing or refrigerating them on Thursday? Thanks!
Hi Mary Kay, we would recommend freezing them on Thursday. They bake perfectly from frozen. Enjoy!
Hi! Will you please email me the label? Thank you!

Oh these were delicious. I made a double batch and took them to a luncheon. Everyone loved them. I found that cooking them a bit longer without burning them gave that nice crispy texture.
Thank you for sharing this recipe with us! ❤️❤️
Thank you for the review, Bonnie!
I would love to make these for a church breakfast this Sunday. I will leave a star review after but would love your labels. What a thoughtful gift!
Sending them your way, Bonnie!
I tried the NYT Baking Recipe for Cherry Chocolate Scones and this one is SO MUCH better. I did have to add a tablespoon of additional milk to get the flour crumbs to attach, but the recipe turned out great. Next time I will try dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet and I think I will include additional dried cherries. Overall great recipe.
Awesome! Thanks for the review, Bry!
I have a request for chocolate chip scones- does this recipe need any adjustments if I leave out the cherries? A
It should be fine. Enjoy, Lisa!
Can your method of melted butter with chilled heavy cream be used in lieu of cutting in cold butter for ANY scone recipe? It’s so much easier!!
Yes!
Sadly, it doesn't work for things like pastry and pie crusts as there's not enough liquid. But you can definitely use it for any scone or biscuit recipe.
I answered my own question by scrolling the comments. I had wondered if fresh cherries would work since they’re on sale this week, and see that they should if drained on paper towels. I’d love the labels if that pdf is still available.
Hope you enjoy them, Marsha! Sending the labels now.
Please send the labels for these delicious scones. All the scone recipes are so very good!! My favorites!
Thank you,
Colleen
Sure, Colleen!
Hi Cris
Again you have created such a delicious scone recipe, would love the labels
Thank you,
Brigitte
Sending them your way, Brigitte!
Just made the cranberry orange scones and they are amazing!! I see these chocolate cherry ones call for cornstarch and baking soda… can you help me explain the difference? Would that also work with your other scone recipes?
Hi Wendy, so happy you enjoyed the cranberry orange scones.
Regarding your question, I'm always trying new things and have found that a portion of cornstarch yields a very tender texture and can keep the scones from spreading too much.
Our church is hosting a high tea in May and these chocolate chip cherry scones would be delicious! Please send the labels for these treats.
Sending them your way, Sally!
I love the incorporation of butter to the cold cream, super easy! I did form these in a typical scone shape but will try the scoop method so I am not cutting into the fruit and choc chips. Rave reviews even though I over baked a tad. I would love the labels if still available!
Thanks, Kristina! Sending the labels your way.
Looking forward to making these for Girlfriend Valentine luncheon.
Hope you enjoy them, Doty!
I would like to request the labels. These scones sound delicious and I am looking forward to making them for my co-workers on Valentines day. Thank you for the recipe and the label.
Sending them your way, Becky!
Good day. I would like to have the labels for these delicious looking scones please. Also, if I decide to leave out the chocolate chips, do I need to make any adjustments to the recipe? Will they be sweet enough without them?
We are happy to send the labels, Normajean. And they will still be great without the chocolate chips. Enjoy!
Hi, Chris!
Like many others, your site is my "go-to" for recipes! I have made your different "ridiculously easy" scones for baby/bridal showers...and I'm always asked for the recipe!!

Hello,
I have fresh cherries. Can I pit the cherry and cut into small pieces for this recipe?
Thank you, Patty
Hi Patty, I think these scones will be delicious with fresh cherries. I would chop them and let them sit on some paper toweling before adding them to the batter. It's best to eliminate any extra moisture!
Simply phenomenal...and so, so delicious!!
Yes, I, too, would like your free printable label to gift theses (otherwise I'll eat them all!!)
Thanks, also, for sharing scripture; it's so uplifting!!
Thanks for the kind comment, Cora! We will send the labels.
Can’t wait to make these. I would love the printable label for these cherry chocolate scones.
Thank you
Sure, Judith!
I love scones. I also love cherries. Will make this afternoon. Can I please have printable labels.
Yes, it is a DELICIOUS combination! Sending the labels now.
Can the dough be shaped into a single round and cut into wedges before baking?
May I please get the labels?
Yes, you can do that, Michele! We are happy to send the labels.
I love the technique you use to incorporate butter into the scones. There is nothing better than fresh scones and I look forward to making these soon. May I have the labels please? Thank you
Sending them your way, Cheryl!
You timed this recipe perfectly! My son-in-law loves chocolate and cherries, so now I know what I am taking on Fathers' Day! Thanks for all of your wonderful "rediculousy easy recipes.
Also, please email the labels to me. Thank you.
That's great, Suella! We will send the labels.
Made these scones this morning. I really appreciate that your recipes are ridiculously easy and always tasty. I like these scones but found that I want to add a bit of almond and cherry extract to the scones next time around. I used dried cherries but did not re-hydrate them as they were fresh and soft. The scone flavor definitely is chocolate-y, but had no cherry flavor. Maybe the cherries I used weren't the best? I made a bit of the almond flavored glaze, which is usually not even necessary, and it does enhance the flavor. Will make them again with the minor changes. Your scone recipes, especially the cranberry orange one, have made my husband and I definite scone lovers.
Thanks, Susan!
Your scone recipes are easy & divine! May i have labels for the choc chip cherry ones and if ou can…the cranberry ones as well? Thanks
Hi Lynne, we are happy to send the labels. We do not have labels for the cranberry ones at this time.
I'm so glad you enjoyed them, Cathy! We will send the labels your way.
Hi Chris,
I would love to have the printable labels for these scones! I made them tonight, and they baked up beautifully! I love your recipes and hope that you continue to share them with us! The melted butter and chilled cream technique is amazing...so much easier than cutting butter into flour!! Thanks again!
I would love to receive the printable labels for these Chocolate Chip Cherry Scones. Thank you

Another one of your great recipes.
Thank you
Sure, Margaret!
HI, I want to make these asap, but I do not have dried cherries, only frozen ones. Do you think they would work in this recipe? Would you also send the link to the printable labels? Thanks so much!
Hi Karen, I wouldn't make these scones with frozen cherries. There's too much liquid and the scones will flatten out like pancakes. It would be best to wait until you can get some dried cherries and use your frozen ones for something else like this cherry jam: https://thecafesucrefarine.com/sweet-cherry-freezer-jam/
Hi, Chris: I'm in the middle of baking these fabulous Chocolate Chip Cherry Scones and realized I cannot locate your sweet labels - Perhaps lost in a recent computer disaster! Would you be kind enough to forward these for my gift exchange? Always looking for your next creative recipe and labels!
Sure, Barbara!
Made this recipe today - a first for me to make scones. They are delicious and so very easy to pull together. I looked through many but didn’t look through all of the comments for all of the different flavor combinations of your scone recipes so my question is can these be frozen after they have been baked? Thanks for sharing so many great recipes. I can’t wait to try some more of them!
Hi Glinda, so glad you enjoyed these! And yes, they freeze perfectly.
We love scones!! What a great idea to give these as a gift. Would love the labels please. Enjoy Lyon! I was almost going to post saying you were landing in Lyon!! Thanks!
Thanks, Cindy! We will send the labels your way.
Please help! I have tried to make these twice, while they taste delicious they come out of the oven like flat pancakes. I follow the recipe exactly and while they are so tasty they look awful with the spread. The first time I chilled them for 20 minutes and thought they maybe needed longer. The second time I chilled them for 1 hour but they still came out looking like pancakes with the spread in the oven. Do you have any idea why or how i could prevent them spreading so much. Thank you for your lively recipes every other thing I have made have been fantastic.
Lovely not lively sorry.
Hi Jayne, it sounds like you just have too much moisture. Sometimes this is due to the moisture level of the butter. Try adding an additional 2 tablespoons of flour. That should help.
I will try this, Chris, thank you very much.
Please send me the labels for the Chocolate Chip Cherry Scones. Thanks
Sure, Linda!
Made these yesterday. Really good. Hubby said he didn’t know he liked scones. The cranberries were ok for the cherries but I will get cherries next. I used my larger icecream scoop, doubled the recipe and got 26 nice scones.
Thanks for letting us know!
Hi, could you send me the label. Taking these to a mothers day party. Thanks Susie. Also, I only have dried cranberries. Can I substitute?
Sure, Susie! And that should be fine to use cranberries.
Love your scone recipes. Noticed the metric version has an error in the amount of powdered sugar. 2cups should be 240g, like listed in your other scone recipes. On this one you wrote 120g.
Thanks, Inge! I will check that out!
I love scones and can’t wait to try these! Please send me the cute label pdf! Thanks!
Sure, Beth! Enjoy!
These look delightful! Please send the label PDF
Thanks,

Sure, Anne!
I am definitely making these for Valentine's Day. Please send me the labels.

Once again you have provided a great recipe to allow each of us to be "stars" in our own kitchen! Will be making these for an upcoming family reunion!
Please send the PDF for these cute labels!
So happy you are enjoying the recipes, Barbara! Sending the labels your way.
Just made these on this snowy day and love them! Crispy on outside and tender inside. Also, thanks for the tip about putting melted butter into cold cream (I used half and half). I’m going to try making biscuits that way now too!
Awesome! Thanks for letting us know, Marjie! We have a biscuit recipe using this technique, check it out- https://thecafesucrefarine.com/ridiculously-easy-buttermilk-biscuits/comment-page-11/#comment-461583

Sure, Debbie!
Made the cherry chocolate chip scones the other day and it's another fabulous recipe. The hubby and neighbors all loved them.
I have a question about the cornstarch. I believe you said you add it to keep the scones from spreading too much in the oven. My scones were a little more crumbly than I like. Do you think I could half the amount of cornstarch to cut back on the 'crumbliness' yet still help the scones retain their beautiful round domed shape? I really appreciate all the 'ridiculously easy' recipes you have. I love to bake, but saving time and having fewer dishes is always a plus!
Hi Susan, so happy you enjoyed the scones. You could definitely try cutting back a bit on the cornstarch and just sub in an equal amount of all-purpose flour. Every oven is a little different so you could also try baking them for slightly less time to decrease the crumbliness.
YOUR scone recipes are ABSOLUTELY the BEST! Love the Raspberry-Lemon and have also used Blueberries to mix things up. BOTH amazing! These Choc Chip Cherry are fabulous. I made a batch this morning and gave some to a neighbor. She shared with another neighbor- I just popped the 3rd batch for today into the oven. And yes, I put some aside to bake for my husband's Sunday morning! THANK YOU, Chris
I love that, Joann! Thanks so much for letting us know!
My daughter and I are avid cooks and have so many of your recipes. This one, however, is top of my list favorite. I have struggled with scones, but this one is over the top fluffy, tasty and any other words that you can think of. I was in a hurry so put each tray in the freezer for 5-8 minutes and it worked perfectly. The flavor combos are endless and I can’t wait to make them again. I would love the labels also.
Thanks from all my neighbors who will get a few for Mother’s Day.
Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your results, Cookies4Kids!
Made the raspberry lemon scones and they were delicious. I know these will be also. Please send the labels and thank you.
Thanks, Diana! We will send the labels now.
Thank you for another fabulous recipe. Will make these scones just like I have made several other baked goods from your blog. I would also like to receive the labels for gifting. Thanks again.

What could be better than cherries & chocolate with a splash of almond! I made mine with gluten free Cup4Cup flour and they turned out perfect! May I please have the pretty labels - will make for my granddaughter who is also Celiac🤗
That's so awesome, Dianna, and will be so helpful to other readers with gluten issues. Thanks so much for sharing your results. We'll get the labels off to you!
As usual, this recipe looks delicious. What a perfect get well for my friend who just had surgery.
I would like to request the label, please.
What a kind gesture, Kathleen! Will get the labels to you now!
Second time this week. Another perfect recipe with labels. I would love the labels too please!
Thank you for your wonderful recipes.
Thanks so much, Sue! Will send the labels now!
This recipe looks so yummy!
I have a small suggestion for you regarding your nice labels that you make. I’ve seen other bloggers have a sort of ‘secret vault’ with free printables in it and if you sign up for their newsletter, you get the password. Perhaps something similar to this idea would work for your all labels instead of having everyone request them individually? Just a thought!🦋
Thanks, Vanessa. I appreciate your suggestion and will look into that.
Hi Chris,
Love this scone recipe, as always you come up with wonderful recipes amd I know they will turn out great because you have tested it many times over. Can I please have your label for the Ridiculously Easy Chocolate Chip Cherry Scones. You are amazing, thank you so much for sharing.

Would this work with fresh cherries? If I followed the sesame starting steps as the strawberry scones?
Beth
Hi Beth, I haven't tried this with fresh cherries but I'm assuming it would work fine if you use the paper towel technique as with the strawberry scones.
If these are as good and easy as the fairy shortbread I am in real trouble. I froze my butter and then grated it but this method looks much easier. Will be trying it for Mother's day. Love doing tea with my friends so this might be a new base recipe. Would love the label. OHHH your recipes are so deadly good.
Haha! Thanks for your kind words, Nancy 💕 Hope you enjoy these as much as the shortbread. These would be so fun for a tea! Sending the labels now.
I enjoy making your recipes! They are easy to follow, and very good. Tips make it easy too! Love Scones,will make this cherry for Mother's Day. Would love the label. Thanks, and Happy Mother's Day!
Yay! That's so good to hear! Well get the labels off to you now. Happy Mother's Day to you too!
