Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
• 0.5 cups cold unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredient mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Shape the dough into a 7-inch round disc, about 1 inch thick.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops are set and the edges are firm to the touch.

Step 10

Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Optional: Once the scones have cooled, dust them lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
