There’s something undeniably comforting about a warm scone fresh from the oven – crisp edges, tender crumb, and just the right touch of sweetness. These Strawberry Chocolate Chip Scones take that classic comfort and give it a fruity, chocolatey upgrade perfect for brunch, afternoon tea, or a cozy breakfast treat.
The base of this recipe is a traditional scone dough made with cold butter, flour, and just enough cream to bring everything together. The magic happens when you fold in chunks of fresh strawberries and a handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips. The strawberries add juicy bursts of flavor, while the chocolate melts into little pools of richness, making each bite feel like dessert.
To keep the strawberries from releasing too much moisture, toss them in a bit of flour before mixing them into the dough. This small step helps maintain that signature crumbly scone texture without making the dough soggy. The key to a perfect scone is not overworking the dough, mix just until it comes together, then shape it gently and cut into wedges or circles.
Before baking, brush the tops with a little cream and sprinkle with raw sugar for a crisp, golden finish. Once baked, the scones are light, tender, and slightly crisp on the edges, with the irresistible aroma of strawberries and warm chocolate filling your kitchen.
These scones are best enjoyed slightly warm, perhaps with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey. They pair beautifully with a cup of cinnamon tea or a cappuccino, making them a lovely way to start a weekend morning or treat yourself during the day.
Whether you’re baking for guests or simply indulging in a little self-care, Strawberry Chocolate Chip Scones offer a sweet, bakery-worthy experience right from your own oven. They’re simple, satisfying, and just a little bit special, proof that the best things in life are often baked with love and shared with joy.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
- 1 cup strawberries hulled and chopped, fresh
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup milk

- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the chopped strawberries and chocolate chips to the flour mixture, tossing to combine.
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the milk and vanilla extract. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
- Shape the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
- Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

I followed the instructions but my dough was super sticky! Not sure what I did wrong. 🤔
Scones were good, but last time I had them at a bakery, they were fluffier. IDK what went wrong.
I added some icing on top after baking, and it made them sooo good! Definitely a keeper!
I found the dough a bit too crumbly. Not sure what I did wrong. Used frozen strawberries instead. Maybe that’s why?
Ain’t nobody got time for baking. Just buy them from the store!
Scones are easy to mess up. My first batch burned. DONT FORGET THEM IN THE OVEN!
These scones were AMAZING! Soft and bursting with flavor. Will definitely make again.
OMG these sound amazing! I gotta try them! Strawberry AND chocolate? Yes, please!
I made these too and they were good, but mine didn’t rise much. Maybe I messed up?
Accidentally used whole wheat flour. They turned out dense but still yummy!
I had to bake them way longer than 15 minutes, but they still tasted good!
Maybe your oven runs a bit cool? Mine was spot on at 15 minutes!
I think it’s just my oven. I always gotta watch the time closely!
I tried making these but my dough was too sticky. I think I need to use less milk next time. 🤔
I didn’t have vanilla extract, used almond instead. They taste fine but a bit weird, lol. Just fyi for others.
Nah, I don’t see what the hype is. They were just okay. Maybe I did something wrong.🤷♂️
They’re like, super crumbly and fall apart too much. Not what I was expecting.
OMG these are so good! I whipped up a batch for my friends, and they all loved them! Will make again! 😍
I think I messed up somewhere, my dough was too sticky to knead. Must have added too much milk.
I don’t really get the hype about strawberry and chocolate together. Would rather have plain scones. 🤷♂️
Scones are legit! Perfect for breakfast or tea time. Will make again for sure. Yum!
These scones are amazing! The combination of strawberries and chocolate is perfect. Will definitely make again.
Not sure about mixin strawberries and chocolate, sounds kinda odd. Aren’t scones supposed to be more traditional?
I tried these too! The taste is outta this world, like strawberry heaven with chocolate! Yum!
So quick and easy, I want to try with blueberries next. Thank you!
Love love love. Super easy and quick to make! My kids devoured them! 🥰
Not as easy as it sounds. I messed up the butter cutting, and they didn’t turn out right. 😩 Frustrating!
These scones are AMAZING! The strawberries and chocolate chips are such a perfect combo. Will definitely make again!
Yum! So good! Just like the ones I had in London last year. My family loved them!
I made these and forgot the vanilla. Still good but flavor was off. Sigh.
Vanilla is key! Try adding it next time, it makes a big difference!
This recipe is a 10/10! My family loved them! Just make sure to use fresh strawberries not those mushy ones.
I tried this recipe and it was amazing! But I didn’t add chocolate chips, just strawberries. Still turned out great!
Scones? More like bricks. Mine came out so hard that I couldn’t even cut them.
Bricks? Really? Maybe you missed a step or put in too much flour. Everyone else says they’re delicious!
Sounds like you might’ve overworked the dough. It shouldn’t be that hard if done right!
They turned out a bit dry for me. Maybe I didn’t knead enough? Not sure if I’ll try again.
Wow! I love scones. I used raspberries instead of strawberries, and they turned out great too!
These scones are heavenly! Perfect balance of strawberry and chocolate. Will definitely make again!
Delish! I want to eat them all by myself.
Yummy! But I used frozen strawberries cuz that’s all I had. Still turned out great!
Frozen strawberries work too! Glad it turned out good for you. Scones are super forgiving like that.
I wouldn’t have thought frozen would be as good. Does it change the taste much?
Great recipe! But I used old strawberries and they were mushy. Gotta use fresh ones!
So true! Fresh strawberries make all the difference. Last time I made these, I used berries that were a lil too ripe and it messed up the texture. But still delicious!
What’s wrong with these scones? They don’t taste like chocolate at all! Seriously disappointed.
I dunno, my scones taste fine. Maybe you just made ’em wrong? Follow the instructions better next time!
These scones are supposed to be strawberry choclate chip, not just chocolate. Maybe you missed the strawberries? They can overpower the chocolate taste!
Made these for brunch with my friends. They raved about them! Can’t believe how simple it was.
These are okay, but I expected more flavor. Maybe I’ll add some lemon zest next time.
I dunno, I think they tasted great as is. But hey, if lemon zest is your thing, go for it! Just don’t overdo it, or it can taste weird.
I can’t believe you thought they lacked flavor! These are my favorite breakfast treat! Maybe you just need to play with the flavors a bit more. Lemon sounds like an interesting idea! 🍋
Why do you need to add salt if you’re using butter? Isn’t that redundant? 🤔
Not a fan. The chocolate chips just made everything too sweet. Maybe less sugar next time?
I actually loved them! The sweetness was perfect for my taste, but I guess everyone has their preferences. Maybe try adding more strawberries instead? 🍓
5 stars!! Super easy and quick! Mine came out golden and fluffy. Everyone loved them!
So good! 5 stars!
This was super easy! I didn’t have chocolate chips, so I added nuts instead. Yum!
Why do you have to use cold butter? Can’t I just use melted butter? Confused.
Cold butter helps create a flaky texture in baked goods like scones. Melted butter would make them dense and heavy. Trust the process!
These scones are amazing! The sweetness from the strawberries and chocolate chips is just perfect. Highly recommend!
Baked them yesterday, and they vanished within hours! Family loved them!
Good recipe but my kids said they taste like mix of salad and dessert. 😂 Never thought scones can be so confusing!
I think I put too much butter… they were greasy. Will try again with less.
These scones are absolutely delicious! I can’t get enough of the strawberry and chocolate combination! Five stars for sure! 🍓🍫
Yummy!! I think I would like to add some lemon zest next time for a zesty twist! 🍋
Meh, not really taste like a scone, more like a strawberry biscuit. 🤷♂️
I dunno, they came out kinda flat for me. Maybe I didn’t knead enough? Still tasted good tho.
These are really good! The choc chips melt in your mouth! Perfect for breakfast!
I substituted strawberries with blueberries because I didn’t have strawberries. 👎 Still tasted great, but not the original recipe.
Made these for my daughter’s birthday, and everyone loved them! 🥳
Scones? I thought this was a cake recipe. Did I miss something? Not a fan of scones anyways.
So easy to make and kids loved them! Will try with blueberries next time.
These scones turned out amazing! The strawberries and chocolate chips make a perfect combo. Definitely making them again!
Nah, not for me. Strawberries and chocolate should stay separate. Thumbs down.
Um, why not just eat them separate then? Seems kinda weird mixing them in a scone. Just my thought.
I totally disagree! Strawberries and chocolate are a match made in heaven. Give it a try, you might change your mind!
I think you forgot the egg in the recipe. Mine were kinda dry. 😢
Scones are just fancy biscuits, right? I added some whipped cream on top. Delish!
I don’t know, they didn’t rise much for me. Followed the recipe exactly. Any tips?
My dough was too sticky. Is that normal? Didn’t really look like the picture. 😕
Sooo good!! Perfect with my coffee in the morning. Thanks for sharing!
I’m glad you enjoyed them! They’re my go-to breakfast now!
Looks good, but I don’t know about chocolate and strawberries together. Seems weird.
Loved these! Fluffy and sweet, can’t beat chocolate and strawberries! Yummy!
Scones! Always too dry. I prefer muffins. 🙁
Wut? Milk in scones? I’ve never heard of that. Seems odd.
Can you replace chocolate chips with raisins? Asking for a friend…
I had a hard time with the dough. It turned out too sticky, and I couldn’t shape it well. Must’ve done something wrong.
Maybe you added too much milk? I never had issues with this recipe, but dough can be tricky, I guess.
Don’t worry, sticky dough can happen! Make sure to flour your surface well next time. You got this!
Meh. Scones are always tricky and these were okay but not wow. Chocolate could be more, and I’d add a pinch more salt next time.
These are absolutely delicious! I made them for breakfast and everyone loved them. 5 stars!
Not a fan. The dough was too sticky and they didn’t rise well. Maybe I did something wrong?
I’m sorry to hear that! The dough can get sticky if it’s overworked. Maybe try adding a bit more flour next time? 🤔
Mine turned out great! Maybe your butter wasn’t cold enough? That can mess with the texture! 😊
Used frozen strawberries instead of fresh, and they were still good! But maybe fresh would be even better?
I’ve never baked something like this before. Do scones always taste this good? R u kidding me?
These don’t look like scones at all, more like drop biscuits! Confused…
Maybe they just didn’t rise enough? Scones gotta be fluffy! 🤔 But I dunno, I’m not a baker.
I think they look delicious! Scones can vary a lot in shape. These sound tasty with strawberries and chocolate!
Just made these and they came out perfect! Light and fluffy. I added a bit of lemon zest for some zing.
Yummy! But next time will use frozen strawberries, fresh too mushy. 4 stars.
Easy to make! My kids helped and we had a great time. Will definitely bake again!
These scones are amazing! The combination of strawberries and chocolate is perfect. Will definitely make them again!
Not bad at all! Mine were a tiny bit dense, I think I over-mixed when adding the milk. Next time I’ll “just combine” like the recipe says. Flavor is great though.
Sponge-like? Huh? These are scones, they shouldn’t be spongey, right?
These turned out super tender—love the strawberry bits and the chocolate chips. I was worried they’d get soggy, but they stayed great. Will make again!
Yes!! I had the same worry about the strawberries, but mine stayed pretty intact too. Did you let them cool before cutting? I found that helped a lot.
Hmm I tried once and they were kinda gummy in the middle, like raw dough. I think my oven runs cold? Also I used frozen berries and maybe that made it soggy. Yours sounds great though.
These came out flaky and the strawberry bits were so juicy. The chocolate chips melted into little pockets—super good with coffee. I used frozen strawberries (thawed and patted dry) and it still worked.
Hmm I tried this but mine were kinda wet in the middle. I used frozen strawberries too but maybe I didn’t dry them enough. Still tasty though, just not as flaky. What temp/time did you use exactly?
Yes!! Mine did the same—flaky and those juicy strawberry pockets were perfect with coffee. I also used frozen berries and just like you, thawed + patted dry. Great call.
Way too much sugar for my taste. I like things more on the savory side. Next time less sugar, maybe?
I totally get that! A little less sugar could really balance out those strawberries. Love a good savory twist on sweets!
But isn’t the sugar what makes them taste good? I mean, strawberry and chocolate is sweet, right? Maybe you just need to try it first.
Not enough butter in the dough. They turned out a bit dry. I’ll try adding more next time.
How can you eat strawberries and chocolate at the same time? Wouldn’t they just clash? Not sure about this one.
OMG! This is the best scone recipe ever! I made them for breakfast, and my family devoured them. 10/10!
Nice recipe, but I didn’t have strawberries, so I used blueberries. They worked out alright but not the same vibe.
But strawberries make it better, right? Blueberries ain’t the same, idk why you changed it.
Blueberries are good too! They give a different flavor but still tasty. I’ll try that next time!
I added some lemon zest to the mix, and oh my gosh, it was amazing! Totally recommend!
Really? I thought the strawberries and chocolate were enough. Lemon’s a bit too much for me.
Lemon zest? That sounds interesting! I never thought of that. I might try it next time!
I don’t know… the recipe seems too complicated for scones. I usually just buy them from the store. 🤷♂️
Love this recipe! I added some nuts because I didn’t have enough strawberries. They turned out great!
These scones are absolutely delicious! The combination of strawberries and chocolate is a winner. Definitely making them again!
I agree! The strawberry and chocolate combo is so good, it just can’t be beat! Can’t wait to try it myself!
I followed it pretty closely, but my dough felt really wet. Maybe my strawberries were extra juicy? Still tasty, just not the prettiest wedge shapes.
Delicious combo! Had them with tea and felt fancy. 5/5!
I’m not sure about 1 inch thick—felt too thick for even baking in my oven. Outside got golden fast while the middle needed more time. Added like 5 more minutes and then it worked.
This is just like my grandma used to make, but with chocolate. Love it! 🍓🍫
Idk, scones shouldn’t have chocolate. They should be plain. Bet this is just a fad.
I love that you found a recipe that reminds you of your grandma! These scones sound amazing, and chocolate makes everything better! 🍫❤️
Scones are supposed to be dry, this one is… not. I like my scones crumbly, thanks!
Wait, do strawberry and chocolate even go together? 3 stars, but I’m skeptical.
400°F seems high? I baked mine and they browned fast before the inside set. Could just be my oven, but I’d say lower to 375°F if you want safer results.
I loved the mix of strawberries and chocolate, but the scones were a bit dense for me. Maybe I over-kneaded or added too much milk. Still tasty, just not fluffy.
Totally get that—dense scones usually means they got a little worked too much or the dough was too wet. Your “too much milk” guess checks out. Next time, add milk a splash at a time and stop stirring the moment it comes together.
These turned out *so* good—crispy edges, sweet strawberry pockets, and the chocolate chips stayed melty. I used frozen strawberries (thawed + drained) and they still worked. Definitely making again!
Strawberries + chocolate in a scone is kind of genius. The vanilla milk really makes it taste bakery-level. Great recipe!
Not gonna lie, I doubted the chopped strawberries. Thought they’d leak and ruin the crumbs. But nope—still delicious.
