Instructions

In a small bowl, mix the egg, vanilla, and heavy cream together and set aside.
1 egg, 2/3 cup heavy cream, 1 tsp vanilla extract
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined. Mix in the cubed cold butter with your hands, a fork, or a pastry cutter.
2 cup AP flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt
Mix in the cubed cold butter with your hands (quickly to not melt the butter), a fork, or a pastry cutter. You want the mixture to look pebbly with little pieces of butter covered in flour.
1/2 cup butter
Pour the heavy cream mixture over the flour mixture and stir with a fork or a rubber spatula to combine, stir in the chocolate chips. Don't overmix.
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Pour the scone dough onto a lightly floured surface, gently pat and shape into a thick 8-inch round. The dough will be a little sticky so keep dusting your surface as needed to be able to handle it. Slice the dough into 8 equally sized triangles with a sharp knife.
Place the scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Brush the heavy cream with extra cream and sprinkle with granulated vanilla sugar or regular granulated sugar and bake for 18-20 minutes. Cool down and enjoy.

Notes

How to store scones?

Scones are usually best the day you bake them, but if you need to store them, keeping them in an airtight container at room temp for up to three days will work as well.
