Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chocolate chips. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir until the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it forms a ball. Flatten the ball with your hands and then use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into an 8-inch circle. Cut the circle into 8 wedges, transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes
Be sure to use cold butter when making these scones. If the butter is too warm, the scones will not turn out as light and fluffy. These scones are best served warm, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
