Delicious Chocolate Chip Scones

So, what is a scone?

Dessert? Snack? Breakfast? I can't decide. But whatever it is, it's delicious. I've tried pumpkin, banana, all different types! However, in my opinion, chocolate chip is the best scone by far.

Scones

• 1/2 Cup COLD butter, unsalted (I used light butter!)
• 1 Cup All Purpose Flour
• 1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
• 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
• Pinch of Salt 
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
• 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar (You can use white sugar instead, but I love the flavor of brown)
• 1/4 Cup Milk (use whatever fat content you want, less fat is healthier but more is more flavor!)
• 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 375 (350 on dark or nonstick pan, or if your oven runs a little hot)
2. Whisk dry ingredients together (NOT the sugar!)
3. Cut the cold butter into cubes. Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles a coarse meal. You could use a food processor and pulse it about ten times or even a Ninja Blender (that's what I do!) and pulse it a few times. There should be visible bits of butter throughout, but none bigger than pea size.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the vanilla, milk, sugar, and cinnamon and whisk until combined well together. Slowly add this mixture to the dry and work it JUST until the batter is combined enough to stick together
5. Note, depending on your flour, your mix might be a little too wet or dry. When you are combining the wet and dry, adjust accordingly. 
6. Pat the mix out on to a floured surface (it should stick a little but not too much) and cut into shapes you like. I made large, round cookie shapes and they came out perfect! 
7. Bake about 10-12 minutes depending on your oven and your scone shape. While they're cooking, you can brush an egg white with a pastry brush on top and sprinkle white sugar. It gives it a lovely caramel color. They're done when they spring back a little when pushed.
