Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; substitute with gluten-free blend if needed.
  • ⅓ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Adds rich chocolate flavor; ensure it's unsweetened.
  • ¼ cup Granulated Sugar Can be replaced with coconut sugar for a less processed option.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder Acts as a leavening agent.
  • ½ teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavor.
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter (very cold, cut into pieces) Adds moisture and flakiness; keep it cold.
  • 1 large Egg Binds ingredients together; flax egg works for a vegan alternative.
  • ¾ cup Heavy Whipping Cream Imparts richness; can use full-fat coconut milk for dairy-free.
  • ½ cup Mini Chocolate Chips Opt for dark chocolate for richer taste.
For Optional Drizzle
  • ¼ cup Additional Mini Chocolate Chips Melt for drizzling over cooled scones.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter until it resembles pea-sized crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and cream. Gradually combine with the flour mixture.
  5. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the dough into two portions and shape into circles. Cut each into 6 triangles.
  7. Refrigerate the cut scones for 5-10 minutes before baking.
  8. Optionally, brush the tops with an egg wash for a golden finish.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned and firm.
  10. For an extra touch, drizzle melted chocolate chips over cooled scones.
