This recipe is something that you can change up to make just about any scone with. Just swap out the chocolate chips and add whatever your preference is. This version I use chocolate chips, it is my go to when I am looking for something that is not overly sweat but fulfills my chocolate craving.

Here is what you will need:

• 2 cups of all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tsp of baking powder
• 1/4 tsp of salt
• 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter cut into pieces
• 1/2 cup of milk (with extra to brush on top of scones)
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• Chocolate chips
• Course sugar to sprinkle on top

Here is how to make it:

• Preheat the oven to 350° and line a cookie sheet with parchment or a silpat.
• In a food processor combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pulse to combine.
• Add the butter and pulse until combined with the flour mixture.
• Add the milk and vanilla and pulse until a dough starts to form.
• Add in the chocolate chips (I used a cup) and pulse until some of the chocolate breaks up into the dough but most of the chips are still intact.

• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and gently fold over the dough trying not to handle it too much and shape into a disk about 1″ thick.
• Cut the dough into 8 wedges and place on the prepared cookie sheet.

• Brush lightly with the extra milk and sprinkle with course sugar.
• Bake in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes or until they begin to turn golden brown.

I hope this recipe inspires you to be creative in your kitchen – enjoy!
