- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

- 1 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, white sugar, baking powder, salt, and mini chocolate chips.

Step 6: Bake
Bake for 18-23 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Tips for the Best Chocolate Chip Scones
- Don’t Overmix – Overmixing can make scones tough instead of tender.
- Use Cold Milk – Helps keep the scones light and fluffy.
- Customize Your Mix-ins – Try nuts, cinnamon, or flavored extracts for a twist!
Storage
Store scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze and reheat as needed.
