Chocolate Scones
Report
Chocolate Scones are a special treat that is sweeter than a traditional scone with a crunchy sugary topping.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ cup cocoa
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold butter cut into pieces
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 ounces semisweet chocolate melted (recommend: Ghirardelli)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon whipping cream or milk
- 2 tablespoons Turbinado or granulated sugar
- Whipping cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and cut it in with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture is rough and crumbly.
- Add the 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, melted chocolate, and vanilla. Stir with a fork just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Knead the dough lightly 3 or 4 times in the bowl.
- Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Turn the dough out onto the baking sheet and pat it into an approximately 8-inch circle.
- Using a sharp knife, cut or mark the dough into 8 wedges. Don’t separate the wedges. Brush with the remaining whipping cream or milk and sprinkle with turbinado or granulated sugar.
- Bake for 19-20 minutes or until done. Be careful not to overbake.
- Best served warm with a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- This is a very moist, almost wet, dough. If you can't cut it before baking, just cut it when it comes out of the oven.
