Ingredients

Scones

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2½ tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons cold salted butter diced
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (3 ounces)

Optional chocolate glaze

  • ½ cup sifted powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons brewed coffee or milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted chocolate chips (1 ounce)

Directions

  • Heat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet.
  • Whisk the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon together. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture looks like fine crumbs.
  • Whisk the egg yolk with the milk and vanilla. Stir it into the dry mixture just until combined, then fold in the chocolate.
  • Shape the dough into a round and cut it into four wedges. Set them on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, until the scones are cooked through and lightly firm. Let them cool for 5 minutes.
  • If you want the glaze, stir the powdered sugar, coffee or milk, and melted chocolate together and drizzle it over the cooled scones.
