I was going to make several different kinds of biscuits before these chocolate chip ones came about.
First, I thought I would make a cheesy biscuit, filled with herbs. But then I remembered these biscuits from two falls ago, and decided against it.
Then, I decided to make a buttermilk version, and went for it. And after a few tries, I got my buttermilk biscuit. But, I needed something else. Something with chocolate!
So after a few more tries, these Chocolate Chip Biscuits were the winner. Although I found a little recipe inspiration from a favorite magazine, these biscuits were just what I was looking for.

And homemade biscuits are where it’s at, friends. Especially these Chocolate Chip Biscuits.
Did I mention that they’re topped with a sweet whipping cream glaze? It makes these biscuits extra special, and tastes just like homemade whipped cream, but in glaze form.
And so easy, too! But, you knew that was coming, right? These Chocolate Chip Biscuits can be prepped, baked, and ready to be devoured in no time, with no mixer and just one bowl.
One bite and you’ll be hooked on the decadent taste and soft and fluffy texture. The chocolate chips provide the perfect touch of sweetness, bursting with flavor. And that whipping cream glaze gives these biscuits the finishing touch…sweet, but not too sweet! Of course, you could always slather these Chocolate Chip Biscuits with butter, too.
But however you eat these cuties, I guarantee you’ll love the texture, taste, ad ease of these biscuits!

- 1 cup buttermilk
Whipping Cream Glaze

- ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
