Ingredients
  

dry ingredients 

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

wet ingredients 

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened and cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup cold butter cut into pieces. I used salt butter, but you can use salted or unsalted butter, whichever you like best!
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chunks you can also use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chunks
  • 2 tbsp melted butter for brushing on the biscuits 

Instructions
 

  • Line a large baking/cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients(flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) and stir to mix.
  • Add the cut butter and cream cheese, and mix with a fork or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. 
  • Add the chocolate chunks to your biscuit mixture and toss to combine.
  • Finally, add the milk and stir. The dough should come together to form a ball, but keep in mind it will be a damp, shaggy dough. 
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and carefully roll the dough out to about a 1-inch thickness.
  • Then, using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out your biscuits(I usually get 10-12) and place them on your prepared baking sheet. 
  • Brush the cut biscuits with the melted butter and place them into your preheated oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove the biscuits from the oven, and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Any leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored at room temperature for up to 3 days!
You can also use chocolate chips in this recipe. I prefer using chocolate chunks in my baked goods, especially this recipe, but chocolate chips work great too!
​If you don’t have a biscuit cutter, you can use a wide-mouth canning jar ring or simply cut out circles with a knife. 
Feel free to play around with this chocolate chunk biscuit recipe to make it your own, try using buttermilk in place of the whole milk, or adding a dash of cinnamon. You can also serve these biscuits with a cream cheese glaze or a dusting of powdered sugar.
