- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

- In the work bowl of a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined. Add cold butter, and pulse until mixture is crumbly.
- Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Fold in 1 cup cream and chocolate chips until just combined. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead just until dough comes together.
