Do you like eggnog? Then you will love these eggnog scones.   These scones have eggnog added to the dough and added to the glaze.

During the holiday season I tend to bake up a storm. I have been baking my favorite holiday cookies including raspberry bow tie cookies, cranberry swirl cookies and Christmas sugar cookies.

I've also been baking holiday breads and scones. These eggnog scones are filled with eggnog and cinnamon and nutmeg. They are a favorite in our household this time of the year.

During the holidays, we often have eggnog in our refrigerator. We like to add it to our coffee in the morning. Because eggnog has so much flavor, I've started using in baking recipes. I've added it to these scones and I've added it in a cranberry coffee cake!

    Tastes really good but as a cinnamon scone - really couldn't taste the eggnog at all, unfortunately.

    I'm a huge eggnog fan, so I know I would be all over these scones! And, yes, I also love baking during the holidays. (I love baking all year long, but the holidays makes it more special.) I'll have to pick up a bottle of nog (our first of the season!) to make these scones. These would be perfect for Christmas morning breakfast!
