Chocolate Chip Scones

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 T. sugar
2 t. baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/4 t. salt
1/2 c. chilled butter
1/2 cup mini semi-sweet choc. chips (or whatever you'd like)
1 egg, beaten
1/2 c.. milk

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Toss in chocolate chips(or whatever). Mix in egg and milk; stir until just moistened. (It'll get sticky quick) Form dough into ball; knead for ten strokes. Pat into about an 8-inch circle; cut into 8 wedges. Space each wedge about one inch apart on a greased baking sheet; bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool; drizzle with icing.

Icing:

1 c. powdered sugar
1/4 t. vanilla extract (I doubled this)
1 T. milk (I also doubled this)

Whisk together until smooth and creamy. (I doubled the vanilla and milk because what the recipe gave didn't really seem to gel well.)
