Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid tough scones.
Gently fold in the blueberries and raspberries, being careful not to crush the berries.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a disc about 8 inches in diameter and 3/4-inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.
Carefully transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each scone.
If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar for added crunch and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
