Valentine Chocolate Chip Scones

Ingredients for 8 servings

¼ cup sugar
½ cup miniature chocolate chips
½ tablespoon red food color
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream, divided
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
6 tablespoons (¾ tick) cold butter, cut into chunks

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in chocolate chips.

Mix 3/4 cup of the cream, egg, vanilla and food color in medium bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Add to flour mixture; stir until a soft dough forms.

Place dough on lightly floured surface. Pat into an 8-inch circle. Cut out heart shapes with 2 1/2- to 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter. Gather scraps and cut out additional heart shapes. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining 1 tablespoon cream.

Bake 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown, rotating baking sheet halfway through cook time. Cool slightly on wire rack.
