I found this chocolate chip scone recipe somewhere online a number of years ago. These delicious scones are a favorite around our home.
When I went to link to them yesterday in a post, I couldn’t believe I hadn’t posted these here yet. Happy baking!
Chocolate Chip Scones
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 and 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Dash of salt
- 2 tbsp cold butter
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp whipping cream
- 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
Directions
- In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, combine the egg and cream.
- Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. If too dry, add more whipping cream a little at a time.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Turn onto a floured surface and knead gently 6-8 times.
- Pat into a 6-inch circle. Cut dough into 6 wedges.
- Separate wedges and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
- Serve warm.
Enjoy!

About Sallie’s Favorite Comfort Food Recipes
These are recipes I have enjoyed throughout my life – as a child, as a young woman, and now as a wife and mom. I am sharing them because they taste good and are relatively easy to make. They only require basic ingredients that most women will be able to easily find and afford. I encourage you to use the best ingredients your can afford for the best results. It really does make a tremendous difference in the quality of the final product.
For example, I only use King Arthur Unbleached Flour for regular baking. After some inexplicable failed results at long-time favorites, I no longer use store brand butter for any baking. I only use Land O’Lakes. The difference is substantial and can mean the difference between a high quality end product and a mess.

These sound yummy! I’ve tried two other recipes lately and liked them both although they were both different. One had lots of cream but no butter or egg…the other had butter and egg but no cream. So maybe this will be the perfect compromise; printed it out to try, maybe tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.

These sound so good! I saved this post in my blog clippings on bloglines. I’ll be trying these, one of these days! 🙂
These sound scrumptious!
Made these for breakfast this morning…mmm, were they good! Sort of like a thicker chocolate chip cookie. This recipe is definitely a keeper; thanks!
