2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
6. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it comes together.
8. Pat the dough into a circle that is about 1 inch thick.
9. Cut the circle into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

11. Allow the scones to cool for a few minutes before serving.
