Some of our favorite scone combinations include blueberries and lemon zest, dried cranberries and orange zest, raspberries with white chocolate or even a sweet and savory scone with diced apples and cheddar cheese.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make circle scones:<\/strong> Prefer a circle scone compared to a wedge? Divide the dough into six pieces, roll into circles and press each scone gently down on the pan like a hockey disc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Chocolate Chip Scones<\/h2>\n<p>For the best quality, wrap each scone individually in plastic wrap and store the wrapped scones in an airtight container for up to three to four days for peak freshness.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze chocolate chip scones?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, scones freeze well and are great to have on hand. Follow this chocolate chip scones recipe as normal. Then once the scones are fully cooked and cooled, seal them in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. They\u2019ll last in the freezer for up to three months. You can also freeze unbaked scones and bake from frozen; just be sure to give the scones a few extra minutes in the oven to bake thoroughly.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat chocolate chip scones?<\/h3>\n<p>When you\u2019re ready for a scone, pop one in the oven or toaster oven at 350\u00b0 for 5 to 10 minutes to reheat.<\/p>\n<h2>Chocolate Chip Scones Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2044908\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Chocolate-Chip-Scones_TOHD24_-30651_SheriSilver_4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Chocolate Chip Scones on a white plate and a wire rack on a marble surface\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sheri Silver for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do you &#8220;cut in&#8221; the butter when making scones?<\/h3>\n<p>Cutting in the butter just means incorporating it into the dry mixture with a fork or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-pie-and-pastry-tools\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-pie-and-pastry-tools\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pastry cutter<\/a>. You want the butter to resemble coarse breadcrumbs, and remain cold. One of our favorite tricks for cutting in butter for this chocolate chip scone recipe is running the butter through a cheese grater, then mixing it in with the dry ingredients.<\/p>\n<h3>How can you make sure your scones are flaky?<\/h3>\n<p>For a flaky finish on your chocolate chip scones, you\u2019ll want to keep the dough as cold as possible before baking. Colder dough holds its shape better and doesn\u2019t spread as much in the oven, giving you the flakiest texture possible. You can do this by keeping your egg and cream in the fridge right up until you add them to the dough.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I keep my scones from drying out?<\/h3>\n<p>The colder the dough, the flakier and softer the inside of the scone will be. To ensure that your dough is as cold as possible, pop the prepared scones in the freezer for 30 minutes before baking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making golden, flaky scones

You can do this by keeping your egg and cream in the fridge right up until you add them to the dough. \r\n<h3>How do you \"cut in\" the butter when making chocolate chip scones? <\/h3>Cutting in the butter just means incorporating it into the dry mixture with a fork or pastry cutter. You want the butter to resemble coarse breadcrumbs\u2014and remain cold. Make sure you have the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-butter-taste-test\/\">best butter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-chocolate-chips\/\">chocolate chips<\/a> to make your personal best scones. \r\n<h3>Can you freeze chocolate chip scones? <\/h3>Yes, scones freeze really well. Just make sure they are fully cooled before sealing them in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container and storing them in the freezer. They'll keep for up to 3 months. Looking for more flavors to try?
