Ingredients - Serves 8

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.
Shape the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick.
Cut the dough into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack before serving.
