Best Chocolate Chip Scones Recipe

With so many great scone recipes begging to be baked, it was hard to figure out where to begin! Since I made this recipe for Chocolate Chip Scones, I have been asked by both kids repeatedly to make them again! I guess you could say they were a hit.

By this point, hubs and the kids are pro scone taste testers. So far, this one ranks up high on everyone’s list of favorite scones!

I found this recipe on the King Arthur Flour website. They say you could use different flavors of extract in place of the Vanilla used here. Who’s with me?

These are one of our favorite scone recipes of all time! I used one cup of chocolate chips, Milk instead of Half and Half, and Vanilla in the Glaze.
