Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in large bowl.

Using a pastry blender, quickly cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

Stir in chocolate chips.

Stir in heavy cream with fork until dough begins to form (about 30 seconds).

Transfer dough to countertop and knead by hand just until it comes together into a rough, slightly sticky ball, 5–10 seconds.

Roll into a ball and then flatten into a 1-inch thick disc.

Cut scones into desired size and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until light brown, 12–15 minutes.
