Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.333 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gently fold the chocolate chips into the mixture.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and egg until combined.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick round disk.

Step 8

Cut the disk into 8 equal wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the scones with a bit of heavy cream to help them brown beautifully in the oven.

Step 10

Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool slightly.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
