Chocolate Chip Scones

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 17 minutes
  • Total Time: 32 minutes
  • Yield: 8 large scones 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed and chilled in freezer for 15 minutes
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, plus more for brushing tops with
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
  3. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut in the chilled butter until the butter is the size of small peas.
  4. Add wet ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  5. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Press dough into a large circle, about 1-inch thick. Cut into wedges and arrange on parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with remaining cream.
  6. Bake 16-17 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

To reheat scones, place on baking sheet in 350° F oven for about 7 minutes until warmed through. I do not recommend using a microwave because it ruins the texture in my opinion.
