Stir in the chocolate chips, then set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, vanilla, and heavy cream.
Add the egg mixture to the dry mix, then stir just until it holds together.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough by folding and gently pressing the dough for 10 to 12 strokes until nearly smooth.
Pat or lightly roll the dough into an 8-inch circle, then cut them into 8 wedges.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.

Stir together the powdered sugar and heavy cream.
Pour the glaze over each scone, then smooth it with a pastry brush. Let the glaze set on a wire rack.
Serve with tea, and enjoy!
