This easy scone recipe delivers soft, buttery scones packed with mini-chocolate chips in every perfect bite!

Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Scones

These are the Best Chocolate Chip Scones because they deliver a perfect balance of bakery-style indulgence and homemade comfort! They are tender and buttery with crisp edges, packed with rich mini-chocolate chips in every bite, and they feel special without being overly sweet!

I love that these are versatile enough for breakfast, brunch, or casual entertaining, yet impressive enough to feel like a treat from your favorite bakery!

Whether you want something cozy or satisfying – these will impress! You can also make these into mini-size. If you would like to serve a variety of scones, then I recommend making Strawberry Scones and Blueberry Scones, too!

What You’ll Need for the Scone Dough:

• 2 cups Flour
• 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/2 cup Butter, Cold
• 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp Heavy Cream
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla
• 1/2 cup Mini-Chocolate Chips

And the Icing:

• 1 cup Powdered Sugar
• 2-4 tbsp Milk
• 1/4 tsp Vanilla

How to Make the Best Chocolate Chip Scones

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a food processor, add 2 cups flour, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Pulse to combine.
• Cut 1/2 cup cold butter into cubes and add to the flour mixture. Pulse again until mostly combined.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp heavy cream and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Pour over flour/butter mixture and pulse again until the mixture is beginning to stick together.
• Transfer to a lightly floured counter top and sprinkle 1/2 cup mini-chocolate chips over the dough. Gently work the dough and chocolate chips together until you have a disc shape. Fold dough over itself, turn 90 degrees and fold again. Repeat 4 more times.
• Form dough into a disc.
• Cut dough disc into 8 wedges. Transfer to prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scone.
• Bake for 13 minutes.
• Once scones have cooled, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-4 tbsp milk, and 1/4 tsp vanilla to make the icing.
• Drizzle icing over the scones. Let harden.
