Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg (for egg wash, optional)
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash, optional)

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, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Stir in the chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.

Step 7

Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuit rounds and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Gather and re-roll the scraps to cut out more biscuits, being careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 8

For a shiny finish, whisk the egg with water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash, if desired.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite tea or coffee.
