  • ¾ cup cold heavy whipping cream, plus more for topping

  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs and vanilla extract.
  5. Add the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, along with the mini chocolate chips, and mix until a moist dough forms.
  6. Transfer the dough onto a floured work surface and gather it into an 8-inch circle that’s about ¾-inch thick.
  7. Cut the circle into 8 even wedges.
  8. Transfer the scones onto the baking sheet spacing them about 1.5 inches apart.
  9. Brush the tops of the scones with heavy cream and then sprinkle them with the sanding sugar (optional).
