Chocolate Chip Scones

I made these for Melinda and her friends this weekend. They were a real hit!

Ingredients

3-¼ cups All-purpose Flour

½ cups Sugar

1 Tablespoon Plus 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder

¼ teaspoons Salt

2 cups Dark Chocolate Chips

2 cups Cold Whipping Cream

2 Tablespoons Melted Butter

2 Tablespoons Sugar For Sprinkling

Preparation Instructions

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease two cookie sheets.

Mix together first five ingredients. Pour in cream and stir until the flour mixture is moistened. Turn mixture out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until a soft dough forms, about 2 minutes. Divide dough into three equal-sized balls. Flatten dough into a seven-inch circle (use your hands to flatten the dough out) and cut each dough circle into eight triangles. Place on cookie sheets about two inches apart. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm. Makes 24 scones.
