I found espresso chocolate chips while shopping in the baking aisle and once I baked them into our scone recipe, well, I knew right then they were a keeper.
Tools to bake delicious scones
These are the tools used to make this espresso chocolate chip scone recipe and all of our homemade scones.
- Pastry blender we mention this item with every single recipe because it is THE item that will ensure a fluffy outcome for your scones. You can use 2 knives or your hands, but a pastry blender is best.
- Parchment paper a baking sheet lined with parchment paper is not only great for non-stick baking, but it is also awesome for easy cleanup! No pan scrubbing needed!
- Mixing bowl should be a large mixing bowl if you want to make this a one-bowl recipe! I mix and also knead the scone dough right in the bowl before turning it out onto a floured surface.

These homemade chocolate chip scones are so good and they freeze really well too!
To freeze for later, place completely cooled scones in a zip lock freezer bag or airtight container for up to 3 months. To thaw, remove a scone from the freezer, wrap it in a paper towel, and heat it in the microwave for 20 seconds.
