KITCHEN ESSENTIALS FOR BAKING:
- I love using this non-stick bakeware for all of my baking.
- These silicone mitts are perfect for grasping hot pans and baking dishes.
- This Henckel Knife is my favorite for slicing and dicing in the kitchen.
- These parchment paper bags are perfect for packaging and these large Rubbermaid food storage containers are great for storing baking in the freezer.
I love that these scones have such a light and flaky texture, with just a touch of icing to kick up the sweet factor.

Serve these pumpkin spice scones with a hot cup of coffee or a Pumpkin Spice Latte and you are sure to win a hostess of the year award!
Tips and Tricks:
- Add a splash of vanilla extract to make a vanilla glaze. Make a maple glaze with a little bit of maple syrup or extract. You can even add a few spices to create a pumpkin spice glaze.
- Try adding dark or white chocolate chips to the dough for pumpkin chocolate chip scones.
- Store scones at room temperature, in an airtight container. They can also be frozen in a container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
MORE TIPS FOR HOLIDAY BAKING:
- Double or triple recipes to make large batches of goodies. This allows cookies and bars to be made in an assembly line fashion and speeds up the process.
- Pick holiday recipes that compliment each other and look good when plated together. For example, every year, I like to make Candy Cane Brownies, Eggnog Cookies, Cranberry and Pistachio Shortbread, and Peppermint Dipped Chocolate Cookies for a good variety.
- Participate in a Holiday Baking Exchange! This is a great way to prepare for a season of holiday entertaining.
- Start baking early and store goodies in the freezer until they are needed. I use these large Rubbermaid food storage containers (aff link) to save a mixture of cookies and bars in my freezer, so that I have them ready to go for Christmas parties and gatherings all season long.
