Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
2. Whisk together the dry ingredients; flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, salt.
3. Add the chocolate chips and gently stir until evenly distributed into the flour mixture.
4. Melt half of the butter. Stir that into the batter along with the cream and vanilla.
5. From here you can either drip spoonfuls of the dough onto your prepared tray, or you can gently pat the dough onto a floured surface into a circle that is 1 inch thick. Slice into triangles and place on your prepared tray.
6. Melt the remaining butter. Brush onto the scones and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar.
7. Bake the scones 14 – 16 minutes, or until slightly browned.

Notes

How to freeze scones:

1. Follow the instructions in the recipe all the way through placing the scones onto your prepared tray (no need to preheat the oven).

2. Place the tray with the prepared scone dough into the freezer and flash freeze for 20 minutes.

3. The scones should be partially frozen, or at least cold enough to handle. If not, let them freeze an additional 10 minutes.

4. Wrap each scone dough in plastic wrap and place in a freezer safe zip top bag.

5. When you are ready to bake, remove from the freezer and place onto a prepared baking sheet. Add an additional minute or two to the baking time.
