2. Ingredients for Oreo Spiderweb Scones

• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 cup (120g) crushed Oreo cookies (about 8 cookies)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3. Step-by-step Instructions to Make Oreo Spiderweb Scones

Preparing the Dry Ingredients

Start by whisking together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. This combination will give your scones the perfect rise and flavor balance.

Cutting in the Butter

Add the cubed cold butter to the dry ingredients. Using a Cuisinart Compact Automatic Bread Maker or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This process creates the flaky texture characteristic of traditional scones.

Adding the Oreo Crumbs

Gently fold in the crushed Oreos, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. The Oreo bits will add a delightful crunch and flavor in every bite.

Mixing the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a small amount of additional crushed Oreos for extra flavor. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the scones light and fluffy.

Forming the Scones

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Pat into a 1-inch thick circle and cut into wedges or use a round cutter for uniform shapes. Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Baking the Scones

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the scones for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. For a festive touch, serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of whipped cream!

Decorating with Spiderweb Icing

Once cooled, decorate the scones with white icing or royal icing to create spiderweb patterns. Use a piping bag with a fine tip or a plastic sandwich bag with the corner snipped for precise designs. For a spooky effect, add a mini Oreo as the “spider”!

4. Storage Tips for Halloween Scones

Store the Oreo Spiderweb Scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 4 days, and reheat briefly in the oven or microwave before serving. Freezing the scones is also an option—wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store for up to 1 month.

5. Serving Suggestions for Spooky Baking

These Halloween scones look fantastic on a festive platter alongside other spooktacular treats. Pair them with a warm beverage like hot apple cider or a pumpkin spice latte for the perfect fall-themed snack. For an extra spooky touch, serve with a side of Vampire Bite Trail Mix.
