1/3 cup (granulated)
baking powder
2 teaspoons (fresh)

1/2 teaspoon (fine)
cold butter
1/2 cup (cut into chunks)

1/3 cup (cold)
eggs
2 (large, beaten)

butter
2 tablespoons (melted, for glaze)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3
Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4
Fold in half of the chopped cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies gently into the flour mixture.
5
In a separate small bowl, combine the cold whipping cream, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
6
Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
7
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently about 8-10 times until the dough is smooth.
8
Pat the dough into an 8-inch square and transfer it to your prepared baking sheet. Press the remaining chopped cookies evenly on top.
9
Using a sharp knife, score the dough into 9 equal squares, then score each square diagonally to create 18 triangles.
10
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the scones are lightly browned on the edges.
11
Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet.
12
While the scones are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, melted butter, and fat-free half-and-half in a small bowl until smooth.
13
Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones just before serving. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for later!
