Double Chocolate Scones With Cinnamon Butter
- 2 cups flour
- 12 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 13 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 34 teaspoon baking soda
- 18 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (1 stick cut into pieces and 1 stick softened)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 large egg
- 34 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 14 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the cut up pieces of butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form.
- Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the chocolate chips.
- In a small bowl, mix the egg and buttermilk until just combined.
- Add to the dry ingredients and stir until the dough just come together.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal parts and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- With lightly floured hands, shape each piece into a flat, round cake about 6 inches in diameter.
- Using a sharp, straight-edged knife, cut each round into 6 equal wedges, leaving them in place.
- Sprinkle the tops with the granulated sugar and bake until firm in the center when lightly touched, about 20-25 minutes.
- Transfer to a rack and let cool slightly before breaking into wedges.
- In a small bowl, using a hand mixer or a fork, beat the softened butter with the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and cinnamon until light and fluffy.
- Serve with the warm scones.
