Ingredients

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!
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.
