Chocolate Chip Scones Ree Drummond Recipes

Steps:

• For the scones: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
• Sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Cut the cold butter into pats, then use a pastry cutter or 2 knives to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles crumbs. Mix in the chocolate chips.
• Add the cream to a pitcher, then whisk in the vanilla and egg. Pour the cream mixture into the flour mixture; stir gently with a fork just until it comes together.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and lightly press it together until it forms a rough rectangle (the mixture will be pretty crumbly). Use a rolling pin to roll it into about a 12-by-7-inch rectangle, 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Use your hands to help with the forming if necessary. Use a knife to trim into a symmetrical rectangle, then cut the rectangle into 12 symmetrical squares/rectangles. Next, cut each square/rectangle in half diagonally, to form 2 triangles. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until the scones are light brown--not golden--about 18 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• For the glaze: Add the milk and vanilla to a pitcher and mix together. Mix the confectioners' sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the milk mixture and stir or whisk until completely smooth. Add more confectioners' sugar or milk if necessary to get the consistency the right thickness.
• One at a time, carefully dunk each cooled scone in the glaze, turning it over if necessary to completely coat. Put on a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Allow the glaze to set completely, about 1 hour. The scones will keep several days if glazed.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray (I skip this and use parchment or silpat). Stir Bisquick mix, 3 TBS sugar, and chocolate chips together, form a well in this mix. Pour in the 1/3 whipping cream, vanilla, and egg stir till soft dough forms( if it seems a little dry add 1-2 TBS more of whipping cream).
• Split the dough in half and form two circles about an inch to an inch and a half thick. Brush top of the circles with additional 1TBS cream and sprinkle with sugar (hint: if you are out of brushing cream I love to use a bit of flavored coffee creamer). Cut each circle into eight wedges but, do not separate.
• Bake about 12 minutes or till golden brown (always check that the center is done , if not bake a few more min.). When done pull from oven a let rest a minute or two, cut into prescored wedges and serve warm. ENJOY!

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, combine egg and cream; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in chocolate chips. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently 6-8 times. Pat into a 6-in. circle. Cut dough into 6 wedges. Separate wedges and place 1 in. on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.
