Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl, and whisk to combine.
Cube the butter and cut it into the dry mixture until only very small pieces remain (it should look almost like oatmeal).
Stir in the mini chocolate chips and the heavy cream (mixture will look very crumbly but should hold together when squeezed).
Press the dough into a ball and divide it in half.
Flatten each portion of dough into a disc shape, about 1 ½-inches thick.
Score each disc into 6 triangles with a knife, and pull the triangles slightly away from one another (allowing about ¼-inch in between).
Bake the scones for 18 to 22 minutes, or until set in the centers and slightly golden on the bottoms.
Drizzle with melted chocolate for garnish, if desired.

Notes

These scones bake up to be about 3-inches by 4-inches, and quite thick. To me, that is a perfect portion. They are very filling! But they are definitely smaller than what you'd get in a coffee shop. If you want bigger, more generous scones, don't divide the dough in half before shaping them.
