    Chocolate Chip Scones are full of chocolate chips and just a hint of cinnamon and vanilla. These scones are perfect to have any time of the day! These are sure to bring a smile to your face as you curl up with a good book, finish off a work report, or just indulge in some fluffy afternoon television.

    These rich and buttery homemade chocolate chip scones are slightly sweet, crumbly, and so easy to make.

    I think one of my favorite things about making them homemade is that you can change up the ingredients to fit what your family loves. Add in some nuts, white chocolate chips instead of the chocolate, or do a mixture of.

    These are some of our favorite brunch recipes that I think you will love are my Banana Apple Muffins, my White Chocolate Scones, and my Strawberry Lemon Muffins.

    Chocolate Chip Scone Recipe

    Substitutions

    • heavy whipping cream - you can use 1 cup of regular milk instead.

    Variations

    • Try using dried fruit or nuts instead of chocolate chips.
    • Crumbled bacon can also play beautifully with the sweetness of the brown sugar dough.

    • Fun plates and tea cups from Kitten D'Amour

    Storage

    Refrigerator: They will last for up to 5 days in the fridge as long as they were stored in an airtight container.

    Top Tips

    • When measuring your flour, make sure to do the scoop with a spoon and level with a knife method. You can also weigh the flour. You want it to weigh 250 grams.
    • Make sure your baking powder hasn't expired.
    • Frozen butter is game changer.
    • Chill the scones after you cut them for at least 30 minutes. It helps them hold their shape.

    FAQ

    How long have scones been around?

    Originating in the early 1500s, the origin of scones is often debated. Some say the original word is “Skone”, while others say it comes from the Dutch word 'schoonbrot' (beautiful bread). Still others argue that it comes from Stone of Destiny, where the Kings of Scotland were crowned.

    Why did my scones get too dry?

    It may be because you overmixed your dough. Just mix it until everything is combined.
