To toast almonds, preheat oven to 325. Place almonds on paper-lined baking sheet. Spread in single layer and bake 10-12 minutes until golden.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk 3 eggs, cream and extract; add to crumb mixture just until moistened. Gently stir in chips and almonds.

On two greased baking sheets, knead slightly and pat into two 10-in. circles, about 3/4 in. thick. Cut into eight wedges each. Beat remaining egg; brush over dough. Slightly separate wedges. Bake at 425° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm and drizzle with Glaze, if desired.

This is a great basic scone recipe. May substitute blueberries or other fruit for chocolate chips.
