Directions
- Step 1 Preheat oven to 400. Whisk egg, sour cream and baking soda in small bowl. Set aside.
- Step 2 Mix flour, white sugar, baking powder, salt, and cream of tartar in large bowl. Add butter to flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 3 Add sour cream mixture into the flour mixture. Add chocolate chips and mix.
- Step 4 Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead briefly until smooth. Divide dough in half. Roll halves into 8-inch circles. Cut each circle into 8 wedges and put on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
