Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (for cinnamon butter)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work it into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently shape it into an 8-inch circle, about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 1 inch apart.
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the scones to cool slightly on a wire rack before dusting with powdered sugar.
While the scones cool, prepare the cinnamon butter. In a small bowl, beat the softened butter with cinnamon and honey until smooth and creamy.
Serve the warm scones with a generous spread of cinnamon butter and enjoy!
