Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt using a whisk.
3. Add the cubed cold butter to the mixture. Use a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture achieves a coarse crumb-like texture.
4. Fold the chocolate chips into the mixture gently to distribute them evenly without breaking them.
5. Pour the heavy cream and vanilla extract into the bowl. Stir gently until you form a cohesive dough.
6. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently press the dough to form a circle about 1 inch thick.
7. Using a sharp knife, slice the dough into 8 even wedges.
8. Place the wedges on the lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones turn golden brown.
10. Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
