To make the Scones

Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk the flour, baking powder, and sugar together in a large bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter until the pieces of butter are the size of peas. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.

Whisk together the cream, egg, and vanilla in a small bowl and add to the flour/butter mixture. Stir together until the dough just starts to come together. Turn the contents of the bowl onto a clean counter and knead the mixture until the dough just begins to come together. Do not over-mix!

Flatten the dough into 6 rounds about 2 ½ inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Cut each round into 4 wedges using a pizza cutter or large knife and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 14-17 minutes or until lightly golden brown.

Let the scones cool on their baking sheet before dipping in the glaze (recipe below). Enjoy!

To make the Glaze

Whisk together the melted butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Dip the scones upside down in the glaze and set them on a plate or a cooling rack. Sprinkle with additional mini chocolate chips, if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Butter Freeze Technique 🧊
Freeze your butter for 15-20 minutes before cutting it into the flour to ensure ultra-flaky scones with distinct butter layers.
Chocolate Chip Distribution 🍫
Toss mini chocolate chips in a bit of flour before folding into the dough to prevent them from sinking and ensure even distribution.
Minimal Handling Magic 👐
Work the dough as little as possible to keep the scones tender - overworking develops gluten and can make them tough.
Cold Ingredient Secret 🌡️
Keep all ingredients cold, especially butter and cream, to create the signature light and flaky scone texture.
Glaze Perfection Trick ✨
Let scones cool completely before glazing to prevent the powdered sugar from absorbing into the pastry and losing its beautiful shine.
