Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • For the scones:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips plus extra if your heart says yes
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the chocolate drizzle:
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 –3 tbsp heavy cream

Method
 

  1. Preheat & prep. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the dry stuff. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the butter. Add the cold, cubed butter and work it in using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it looks like coarse crumbs. (If your fingers get chocolatey and buttery… I mean… tough life.)
  4. Add chocolate chips. Stir them in like the generous, chocolate-loving human you are.
  5. Mix the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream, egg, and vanilla.
  6. Bring it together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix. This is not bread. This is not therapy. Be gentle.
  7. Shape the dough. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, pat into a circle about 1-inch thick, and cut into 8 wedges.
  8. Bake. Place on your prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes, until set.
  9. Make the drizzle. Melt chocolate chips with cream in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
  10. Drizzle like you mean it. Once the scones have cooled slightly, drizzle that chocolate all over like you’re on a baking show and someone’s judging your life choices.
