Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2.25 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 2.5 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter cold, cut into small cubes
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup heavy cream cold
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp heavy cream for brushing
- 1 tbsp coarse sugar for topping
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
- Fold in the chocolate chips to distribute evenly.
- Whisk cream, egg, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth.
- Make a well in the dry mix, pour in the wet, and gently fold just until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into an 8-inch round, about 1 inch thick.
- Slice into 8 wedges and transfer to the prepared sheet, spacing the pieces apart.
- Brush tops with cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake 15–17 minutes until golden brown at the edges. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Variation: Swap half the chips for chopped dark chocolate or add 1 tsp orange zest. To freeze, cut into wedges and freeze solid; bake from frozen, adding 2–3 minutes. Store leftovers airtight at room temperature for 2 days; rewarm at 300°F for 5 minutes.
