Chocolate Chip Scones
These are the BEST Chocolate Chip Scones! They are buttery, flakey, and full of melty semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter cubed and cold
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ tablespoon granulated sugar
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- With a pastry blender or two forks, cut in the cold cubed butter until pea-sized pieces remain. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the heavy cream in slowly, gently mixing until the dough is moist and begins to come together. Remove the dough from the bowl and place it on a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough until it comes together and shape into a flattened disk.
- With a bench scraper portion the dough into 8 wedges. Place the wedges of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate the scones for 30 minutes.
- While the scones are chilling, preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and tablespoon of heavy cream. Brush the egg wash onto each scone, you will not use all of the egg wash. Sprinkle each scone with granulated sugar.
- Bake the scones for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Notes
Store the scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For an extended shelf-life, store scones in the refrigerator for up to one week.
