Chocolate Cherry Chunk Scones

Heat the oven to 350ºF.

In a medium-sized bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, and soda together. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and beat just until combined. Next, beat in the coffee and vanilla.

Gradually add the flour mixture until it is incorporated. Stir in the cherries and the dark chocolate chunks. It will be a very dense mixture. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto parchment-lined cookie sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake 12-14 minutes, or until the scones are set.

Cool a few minutes before transferring the scones to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen scones. Store in an airtight container.

Enjoy!
