Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly and the butter is cut into pea-sized pieces.
If you don’t have a pastry blender, use the tips of your fingers to work the butter into the flour, pressing and breaking the butter into small, flat pieces throughout the flour.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
