Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons coarse sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the vanilla extract and 1/2 cup heavy cream.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until the dough begins to come together.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, being careful not to over-mix.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it into a ball.

Step 8

Flatten the dough into a round disc, about 1-inch thick, and cut into 8 wedges.

Step 9

Arrange the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the scones with the remaining 2 tablespoons of heavy cream.

Step 11

Sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar for extra crunch and sweetness.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are firm to the touch.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious chocolate scones.
