Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup cold butter cubed or grated
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup pecans coarsely chopped

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
  • 2 tablespoons of Hazelnut creamer or milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°(F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, or silicone baking sheet. Set aside while you make the scone dough.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cut the butter into the dry ingredients, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In another bowl, combine the egg, buttermilk, and vanilla. Stir into the crumb mixture just until moistened.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans.
  • Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 8 times. Pat the dough into a 6-inch disc. Cut the disc into 8 equal wedges, place on a lined baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15–20 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack for 5 minutes.
  • While the scones are cooling, make the glaze. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and hazelnut creamer, or milk. Whisk until smooth. Drizzle over scones. Let set 5 minutes and serve warm.
