Steps
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Using a wooden spoon, stir the heavy cream into the flour mixture, stirring just until ingredients are moistened.
Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently until a soft dough forms (about 2 minutes). Divide the dough into two equal balls. Working with one at a time, pat each one into an 8-inch circle and cut into 8 triangles. Transfer the triangles to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Brush with the melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned. Serve warm or at room temperature. These scones are best served the day that they are made, but can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag to store in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Dee on 2026-02-17 (5 stars): Thank you. This is
A wonderful recipe. My daughter & I love them with chocolate chips. My husband would prefer them plain. Thabk you for the recipe.
Karen on 2023-12-28 (5 stars): I started using this recipe years ago when my young child wanted chocolate chip scones and the coffee shop was out. It has been my go to recipe for years for special treats and bringing to friends. I have sent this recipe to many friends. It's easy to follow and easy to use substitutes. Thank you BEB!!
Kayla on 2023-10-13 (5 stars): Delicious, I’ve made these at least 6 times and they come out perfect every time. Everyone loves them!
Karen Parson on 2023-01-14 (5 stars): Great recipe! Keep the cream near at hand - you may need to lmoisten the dough a little bit if you measure by volume instead of weight. I made a half recipe for the two of us and have a couple for tomorrow morning, too!
Thank you!
Cathy Lewis on 2021-12-24 (5 stars): Everyone who has eaten one of these scones loves them!
Alyssa Meyer on 2021-10-23 (5 stars): This recipe is perfect and comes together so easily.
Sheena Zawistowicz on 2021-07-02 (5 stars): Great tasting scones and really easy to make. I make the whole recipe and freeze them and my husband takes them out one at a time ( daily!). I also sometimes substitute golden raisins for the chocolate chips and then serve those with butter and jam(jelly).
Louise Schmitt on 2021-05-29 (5 stars): I made these scones for my family throughout the pandemic when we would watch church at home. My children love this recipe! Highly recommend, easy to make, pass it along to family and friends!
Keila K on 2021-04-23 (5 stars): I made these and paired them with homemade clotted cream and raspberry compote. To say I loved this recipe would be an understatement. They were a hit amongst my entire family! My father is diabetic so I’m wondering how I can alter this so he can eat it. I did burn the first batch so I recommend anyone reading this to check their coloring at 18 minutes without opening the oven. I will be making these regularly!
Karis on 2021-01-29 (4 stars): Recipe is good but not as flavorful as I expected. Also I cooked my first batch for 20 minutes and they burnt. Cooked the second batch for about 15 and they came out great!
Moujounouko on 2021-01-10 (5 stars): These came out delicious! Also super easy to make. Thank you!
Mary on 2020-06-22 (5 stars): The best scones! These are very close to traditional scones, which are not supposed to be moist or overly sweet. This recipe is so easy. I’m going to try them next with strawberries.
