Tasty Tuesday - Chocolate Chip Scones

One of my favorite things to do is bake. It makes me happy to be busy in the kitchen creating baked goods for my family and friends. Chocolate chip sconces are a delicious morning, (or anytime), treat of mine. They go well with a cup of tea, or a glass of milk. This recipe was given to me by a dear friend from college. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
