Ingredients

1¾ cups unbleached all purpose flour
⅓ cup sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup salted butter, cold and diced
⅓ cup cold milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the all purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
Add in the diced butter and using a pastry blender or fingers cut the butter with the dry ingredients until course crumbs.
Whisk together the milk, egg and vanilla in a small bowl and add to the flour mixture along with the chocolate chips. Using a rubber spatula or your hands, combine the mixture just until everything is combined, do not overmix. It is ok if the mix is crumbly.
Turn the dough onto prepared baking sheet and using your hands fold the dough and form into an 8 inch disc.
With a dough cutter or sharp knife, slice the disc into 8 triangles and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake for 13-16 minutes until the scones are set and the edges no longer look glossy.
Let cool and enjoy!

Notes

Expert Tip: You can also use the new pastry beater attachment for the KitchenAid stand mixer. Or you can use the dough blade in a food processor. It makes the scones even easier to make!
