FOR THE SCONES:
2 cups All-purpose Flour
1/2 cups Sugar
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Salt
6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Cut Into Small Cubes And Kept Cold
2 whole Large Eggs
1/2 cups Heavy Cream
1-1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract
1/2 cups Dried Cranberries
FOR THE GLAZE:
1/4 cups Powdered Sugar
2 teaspoons Milk
1/2 teaspoons Almond Extract
1/4 cups Slivered Or Crushed Almonds

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add butter and combine with a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles sand. Add eggs, heavy cream and almond extract and stir until well combined. Add in dried cranberries and stir.
3
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and roll out until the dough is 1/2 inch thick. Shape the dough into a circle and cut in a similar fashion to a pizza, creating 8 wedge-shaped scones. You could cut them smaller if you wish or use a cookie cutter to cut specific shapes.
4
Transfer the scones to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 16-17 minutes. The tops will be slightly golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
5
Meanwhile, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and the remaining almond extract for the glaze. Glaze the cooled scones and top with almonds, if desired.
