Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.333 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold)
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons optional: coarse sugar, 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

Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly and resembles coarse sand. Work quickly to avoid melting the butter.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough comes together. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a circle about 1 inch thick and 8 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges.

Step 9

Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 10

If desired, brush the tops with a little extra heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar for added sweetness and crunch.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden on the edges.

Step 12

Allow the scones to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm. Enjoy!
