These chocolate chip biscuits are tender, light, and full of chocolate chips and topped with a sweet glaze. Southern biscuits just don't get any more delicious! The chocolate chips in these biscuits give them the perfect touch of sweetness. The glaze on top adds even more sweetness and you could drizzle on a little or a lot depending on how sweet you want your biscuit. Go heavy with it and they taste more like a decadent dessert than breakfast. Nothing wrong with that!
Add in the other ingredients and using a pastry blender or fork, mix everything together well. Don't worry if there are still butter pieces, they'll melt in the oven.
As soon as you have a dough, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll out. Roll the dough out to about 1/4" thickness, use biscuit cutter to cut the biscuits out. We actually used the ring of a mason jar and it works great!
Now place biscuits onto an un-greased cookie sheet. Place the biscuits so they are just touching each other, and they will rise higher than if they were not touching at all. Bake for 8 minutes.
