Oreo Scones are a rich, chocolaty twist on the classic scone, made with black cocoa, chunks of Oreo cookies, and finished with a smooth vanilla glaze. Tender, buttery, and indulgent, these scones are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert—and a must-try treat for Oreo lovers.
Ingredients
Scones:
¼ cup granulated sugar (55 g)
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup black cocoa powder (50 g)
2¾ cups all-purpose flour (324 g), plus more for rolling
½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into pieces (113 g, 1 stick)
200 g Oreo cookies (about 17 cookies), roughly chopped
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
1¼ cups heavy cream, plus more for brushing
Icing:
¾ cup powdered sugar (86 g)
2–3 tablespoons heavy cream
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and flour. Cut in butter until pea-sized crumbs form. Stir in chopped Oreos.
- In another bowl, whisk egg, vanilla, and cream. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until just combined.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch thick disk. Cut into 8 wedges. Place on prepared baking sheet. Brush with cream and press extra Oreo pieces on top.
- Bake 25–30 minutes until firm and set. Cool on a wire rack.
- For glaze: whisk powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle or pipe over cooled scones.
Notes
- Use golden Oreos for a vanilla variation.
- Add white chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
- Substitute buttermilk for heavy cream for tanginess.
- Drizzle with chocolate ganache instead of vanilla glaze.
- Make mini scones by dividing dough into two disks and cutting smaller wedges.
