Chocolate Chip Scones

• 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups dark chocolate chips
• 2 cups cold whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• extra sugar for sprinkling

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease two cookie sheets.

Mix together first five ingredients. Pour in cream and stir until the flour mixture is moistened. Turn mixture out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until a soft dough forms, about 2 minutes. Divide dough into three equal sized balls. Flatten dough into a seven inch circle (use your hands to flatten the dough out) and cut each dough circle into eight triangles. Place on cookie sheets about two inches apart. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm.
