Semisweet Chocolate Chip Scones

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat (I love my Silapats, worth the investment ten-fold.)

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine. Pour in chocolate chips and toss to blend. Create a small well in the center of the bowl. Pour in butter and heavy cream. Stir until just combined.

Using a large dough scoop (or two spoons), drop scones on baking sheet in mounds (should create 10-12 depending on size). For the topping, brush with melted butter and sprinkle tops with sugar. Bake for 15-18 minutes (until tops are lightly brown), rotating pan halfway through. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Serve and enjoy.
