To make the Scones
1
Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
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.
3
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!
4
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.
5
Let the scones cool on their baking sheet before dipping in the glaze (recipe below). Enjoy!
To make the Glaze
1
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)
- Keep Butter Ice-Cold 🧊Use butter straight from the freezer and cut it into small cubes before mixing—cold butter creates steam pockets that produce tender, flaky scones instead of dense ones.
- Don't Overmix the Dough 🙅Mix ingredients until just combined; overmixing develops gluten and makes scones tough—stop as soon as you see no dry flour streaks.
- Chill Dough Before Baking ❄️Refrigerate shaped scones for 15-20 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and ensure they rise tall and maintain their shape.
- Toast Chocolate Chips Lightly 🍫Lightly warm mini chocolate chips in a low oven for 2-3 minutes before folding in—this deepens their flavor and helps them distribute evenly throughout the dough.
- Brush with Cream Before Baking ✨Apply heavy cream to the tops of scones just before baking for a golden, professional-looking exterior that's irresistibly tender.
