Scones are seen as a breakfast food, and cookies are seen as a dessert, but they are in fact, very similar! It's all about ratios and the method of mixing, as well as the gluten development of the flour in the batter. I made this recipe because I was looking for a cookie that felt like a scone, but was still a bit chewy like a cookie. I started throwing ingredients together, and ended up with this beautiful treat! Blueberry Scookies (scone-cookies) I call them. Slightly flaky with fruit like your favorite scone, but chewy and a bit crisp on the edges like a cookie! Trust me, the first time you make these, you'll want to make about sixty more batches!! The ingredients and procedure for this recipe are pretty simple, so happy baking!!
