Ingredients
- FOR THE SCONES:
- 1-½ cup Plus 2 Tablespoons Flour
- ¼ cups Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- FOR THE TOPPING:
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
- Sugar For Sprinkling
Preparation Instructions
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.
