Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tbsp coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

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 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 work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until the dough just starts to come together. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a 1-inch-thick round disk, approximately 8 inches in diameter.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1-2 inches of space between each scone.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle the tops of the scones with coarse sugar for added crunch and sweetness.

Step 11

Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden brown around the edges and the tops are set.

Step 12

Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
