Chocolate Chip Scones

• Scones
• 3 1/4 cups flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3/4 cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Sugar Topping
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons sugar

1. Preheat oven to 425u0b0F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or rubbing between fingers, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in chocolate chips. Add buttermilk and vanilla, stirring just until moistened.
3. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, 5 or 6 times, to gather into a large ball. Do not overwork the ball or the result will be tough scones. Divide the ball of dough in half and gently pat each into 8-inch flat rounds. Brush the top of each with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
4. Using a sharp knife, cut each circle into 6 even triangles and place on prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Bake 16-18 minutes until tops are golden.
