This weekend I bought a big bag of juicy lemons to cheer me up and raise my hopes that Spring is right around the corner. We still have flurries in the air, snow on the ground and it looks kind of gloomy, but a girl can be hopeful right? Either way, these Raspberry Lemon Scones are fantastic in any weather and they did cheer me up! These would be great for a brunch, or by themselves with coffee in the morning. If you have a case of the winter blues and need a pick me up, try these scones and brighten up your day:)

- 5 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream

- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In your Kitchen Aid mixer, cream the butter for 3 minutes. Slowly add the sugar and mix for 2 more minutes.
- Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure all the sugar and butter have mixed thoroughly.
- Mix in the eggs, then add the vanilla, heavy cream, and lemon zest.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just until combined.
- Gently fold in the raspberries.
