2cups all-purpose flour
1/4cup sugar
2teaspoons baking powder
1/2teaspoon baking soda
1/2teaspoon salt
1/4cup firm butter or margarine
2/3cup Yoplait® Fat Free plain yogurt or Yoplait® 99% Fat Free creamy vanilla yogurt (from 2-lb container)
1/2cup dried cherries or cherry-flavored dried cranberries
1/4cup semisweet chocolate chips
2teaspoons coarse sugar

1.Heat oven to 400°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
2.In medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in yogurt, cherries and chocolate chips (dough will seem dry and crumbly).
3.On lightly floured surface, shape dough into a ball. Knead dough lightly 10 times. Divide dough in half. On cookie sheet, pat each half of dough into 6-inch circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges, using sharp knife, but do not separate wedges. Sprinkle with sugar.
4.Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Carefully separate wedges. Cool 10 minutes. Serve warm.
Substitution
You can use 1 (6-oz) container of Yoplait® Original 99% Fat Free French vanilla yogurt instead of the yogurt in the recipe if you like.
Success
Count to 10! Overkneading the dough will make your scones tough.
