Preparation Steps

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and milk, then fold in chocolate chips to form a loose dough.
  5. Knead the dough gently on a floured surface about 5 to 6 times.
  6. Pat the dough into an 8-inch circle about 1 inch thick, then cut into 8 triangles.
  7. Refrigerate the cut scones for about 15 minutes.
  8. Brush the tops with an egg wash and bake for 25-30 minutes until firm.
  9. Cool on a wire rack, then prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones and let set before serving.
