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?
