Instructions

1. Preheat the oven.
  Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your scones bake evenly and develop a golden brown exterior.

1. Mix dry ingredients.
  In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

1. Cut in the butter.
  Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial for creating a flaky texture in the scones.

1. Add chocolate chips.
  Stir in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly incorporated throughout the mixture.

1. Combine wet ingredients.
  In a separate bowl, mix the milk and vanilla extract together. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough scones.

1. Knead and shape the dough.
  Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.

1. Cut into wedges.
  Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges. Place each wedge on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

1. Bake the scones.
  Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
