Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup cold unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup heavy cream
• 1 whole large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons coarse sugar for sprinkling

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 6

Add the semisweet chocolate chips to the dough and mix until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a circle about 1-inch thick.

Step 8

Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges with a sharp knife or a bench scraper.

Step 9

Arrange the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.

Step 10

Sprinkle the tops of the scones with coarse sugar for a sweet, crunchy finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 12

Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your perfectly baked chocolate chip scones.
