Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 2/3 cup Heavy cream (plus more for brushing)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup Hershey's dark chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

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 all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, diced butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the Hershey’s dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently press it together. Form the dough into a 7-inch circle, about 1-inch thick.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 even wedges.

Step 9

Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the scones with a bit of heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite spread or enjoy them as is.
