We make several flavors of scones at the LUV Ice Cream Cafe, but the almond scone is my absolute favorite. So many foods bring back nostalgic memories for me. The flavor of these delightful scones remind me of the almond cookies we would get after a meal at Soo\u2019s Chinese Restaurant in Southwick, MA. One a month my family would take a little 40 minute trip from our home in Winsted, CT to Southwick, MA and I couldn\u2019t wait to taste the amonld cookies!<\/p>\n
