Description

These scones are soft, rich, and full of delicious dark chocolate.

Ingredients

  • 3-¼ cups All-purpose Flour
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Plus 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 cups Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 2 cups Cold Whipping Cream
  • 2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar For Sprinkling

Preparation

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease two cookie sheets.

Mix together first five ingredients. Pour in cream and stir until the flour mixture is moistened. Turn mixture out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until a soft dough forms, about 2 minutes. Divide dough into three equal-sized balls. Flatten dough into a seven-inch circle (use your hands to flatten the dough out) and cut each dough circle into eight triangles. Place on cookie sheets about two inches apart. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm.

Made these this morning and they were super easy to make. My husband and I love them!! We’ve spent the last thirty minutes discussing what else we could use in place of chocolate.
Thanks for the recipe. Yay for scones!!

We absolutely love this recipe at our house. These will be on the menu for tailgating this fall, for brunch this winter, and for anytime the rest of the year. I have had scones, but they were always dense and heavy. These are light, rich, and wonderful! Yummy!

Unfortunately this recipe was a flop for me. The scones tasted wonderful BUT the dough was EXTREMELY sticky and it did not stay in form at all. My triangle-shaped scones turned in to big circles in the oven. More luck next time?

I make these scones for my husband at least weakly! They are so easy and so delicious! I do usually use mini chocolate chips though, seems to work better for us!

This is such a simple recipe for really great scones. I made chocolate chip ones first, then realized how adaptable this recipe would be for using other flavors and ingredients. The second time I made them, I reduced the flour to 2 3/4 cup, and added in 1/2 cup of quick oats, switched the chocolate chips for 2 cups pecan pieces, and then added in a teaspoon of maple flavor and a tablespoon of cinnamon. Then I made a quick icing with 3 cups of powdered sugar, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1 1/2 teaspoon of maple flavor. They were DELICIOUS! Great for breakfast. Thanks for a perfect scone base!
