Orange Chocolate Chip Scones

When I have guests come I feel I make the same stuff over and over again, muffins, granola, waffles, etc. I found this recipe for scones and thought that would be something different and would give it a try. I also love orange and chocolate together and these did not disappoint. They turned out great. Once again I got this recipe from Karas Kreation blog.

1 3/4 c. flour

1/3 c. sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

5 Tbsp. cold butter, cubed

1/3 - 1/2 c. mini chocolate chips

1/2 c. + 2 Tbsp. orange juice

1-2 tsp. grated orange peel

milk and sugar for tops

Cut butter into dry ingredients till coarse and crumble. Stir in chips. Mix in orange peel and juice till dough is moist. Pat to 1/2 inch thick. Cut with round cookie cutter and place on cookie sheet. Brush tops with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 12 mins.
