Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 g)
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar firmly packed (50 g)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter very cold and cut into cubes (113 g)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (118 ml)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips (85 g)

Vanilla Glaze (optional)

  • 1 cup powdered sugar (125 g)
  • 2-4 Tablespoons milk
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In the basin of a food processor, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Cover with lid and pulse to combine.
  • Scatter cold butter pieces over the flour mixture and pulse again until butter pieces are mostly combined but some discernible pieces (no larger than pea-sized) remain.
  • Combine heavy cream and vanilla extract in a measuring cup and whisk together. Pour evenly over flour/butter mixture.
  • Pulse again until the mixture is mostly combined and beginning to cling together.
  • Transfer to a clean, lightly floured surface and sprinkle chocolate chips overtop. Use your hands to gently work the dough together, distributing the chocolate chips as you go, until you have a disc. Fold dough over itself, turn 90 degrees and fold again. Repeat this 4 more times.
  • Form dough into 2 separate 4” (10cm) discs (for mini scones) or one 6” (15cm) discs (for regular scones).
  • Using a sharp knife, cut each disc into 8 wedges, pressing straight down with each cut (don’t saw).
  • Transfer scones to prepared baking sheet, spacing 1” apart. Transfer to preheated oven and bake for 13-14 minutes, until cooked through.
  • Allow scones to cool on baking sheet. Once cooled, top with vanilla glaze, if desired.
  • Vanilla Glaze
  • Whisk together powdered sugar, 2 Tablespoons milk, and vanilla extract. Add more milk as needed until glaze is smooth and drizzles off the whisk.
  • Dip the tops of cooled scones in glaze or drizzle with glaze. Allow glaze to set before serving.
