Chocolate Chip Scones

Chocolate Chip Scones

Scones are not just for fancy tea time rituals.  They are a delicious baked good that can be enjoyed with coffee, at bridal and baby showers, or anytime.  Less sweet than cake or cookies, they give you just a touch of sweetness to curb cravings.  Load these Chocolate Chip Scones up in a basket wrapped in a pretty tea towel, and they make a tasty homemade hostess gift.  Use a red or green tea towel, and it makes a perfect Christmas party dessert.

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 Tbsp. baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup butter, softened
• 1 ½ tsp. vanilla
• ⅔  cup half and half
• 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
• ¾ tsp. salt

Directions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Preheat oven to 400°.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, vanilla, butter, and half and half.
4. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients:  flour, chocolate chips, sugar, baking powder, and salt. 
5. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients, and combine until dough comes together and is no longer sticky. 
6. Form dough into a circle about 9” across on parchment-lined baking sheet. 
7. Cut into 8 triangles using a pizza cutter.  If you want smaller scones, split dough in half, and make two half sized rounds instead.  Then, cut.
