These Mini Chocolate Chip Scones are the perfect little treat to go with your afternoon coffee! They're super soft & moist and only take 30 minutes to make!
These scones = 😍. Mini buttery, soft scones studded with mini chocolate chips baked to perfection and then dipped in a delicious vanilla glaze!! What's not to love about that?! I have thought about starting to calculating the nutrition facts for my recipes, buuuuut I don't really want to know how many million calories are in each scone... so, ignorance is bliss!
Some major perks that these mini chocolate chip scones possess are:
- they are super tiny - which means instead of eating only one big scone, you can eat 8 mini scones! (Just kidding, 2 or 3 mini scones are equivalent to one large scone.)
- they are cute! Perfect for teatime!
- they are insanely easy to make and only take 30 minutes - 15 minutes of prep time, and 15 minutes in the oven!
- of course, they are super delish!

📖 Recipe
Mini Chocolate Chip Scones
These Mini Chocolate Chip Scones are the perfect little treat to go with your afternoon coffee! They're super soft & moist and only take 30 minutes to make!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated white sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¾ cup cold salted butter, cubed
- ½ cup whipping cream
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup mini chocolate chips
For the Glaze:
- 1 tablespoon salted butter, melted
- 1 cup powdered confectioners sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
To make the Scones:
- Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, and sugar together in a large bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter until the pieces of butter are the size of peas. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
- Whisk together the cream, egg, and vanilla in a small bowl and add to the flour/butter mixture. Stir together until the dough just starts to come together. Turn the contents of the bowl onto a clean counter and knead the mixture until the dough just begins to come together. Do not over-mix!
- Flatten the dough into 3 rounds about 1 inch thick. Cut each round into 8 wedges using a pizza cutter or large knife and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 14-17 minutes or until the undersides are golden brown.
- Let the scones cool on their baking sheet before dipping in the glaze (recipe below). Enjoy!
To make the Glaze:
- Whisk together the melted butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Dip the scones upside down in the glaze and set on a plate or a cooling rack.

Made these today, they were great! I did have to add a little bit more liquid to the dough because mine was a bit dry, but other than the recipe worked out well! I’m excited to try your other scone recipes!! Also the dough tasted amazingggg 🤩🤩

These look absolutely incredible! Will have to make them soon. One question: in the ingredients list you say cold salted butter, cubed, but in the instructions, you say cold browned butter. Do we need to brown the butter and cool it?
Naomi
Hi Isabel! Thank you for bringing that to my attention, I just fixed it, you just need to use cold salted butter! I hope you enjoy them!
