I made these amazing scones last night for book club. I highly recommend using frozen berries instead of fresh or you will have a pink gooey mess. It might also help to roll the berries in a little flour before folding into the dough. Both the dough and the topping needed a lot more cream/liquid.

Becky’s Best Sugar Cookies
You know it’s funny…some of the best recipes I have from my friend Becky are from her either bringing us a treat or dinner, or my kids being fed at her house and coming home and saying, “Mom, you NEED to get that recipe from her! Dinner was so delicious!” She serves by feeding us, then serves again by giving me the recipe! About a week before Valentine’s Day this year her family brought over these most amazing sugar cookies. I’m off sugar right now and have been for months but I crumpled when I saw those chewy cookies with the thick pink butter-cream frosting. Why do treats taste better in pastel colors? They are truly THE BEST sugar cookies ever! Use a royal icing recipe for beautiful decorating like the examples below. Use butter-cream frosting for deliciousness….
