Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Form the dough into an 8-inch circle, about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden on the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before glazing.
To make the peanut butter glaze, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones using a spoon or piping bag. Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve the scones with a warm drink and enjoy!
