Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (plus more for brushing)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate (melted, for drizzle)
- 1/4 cup white chocolate (melted, for drizzle)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently press it into an 8-inch round disc, about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scone.
Brush the tops of the scones with a bit of heavy cream to encourage a golden-brown finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden and set.
Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the scones are completely cooled, drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the tops using a spoon or a piping bag. Allow it to set slightly before repeating with the melted white chocolate for the second drizzle.
Let the chocolate drizzles fully set before serving. Enjoy your Fancy Double Drizzled Chocolate Chip Scones with a cup of coffee or tea!
