Chocolate Chip Scones for Valentine's Day Breakfast

Preparation Time: 15 – 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Servings: Makes 1 dozen

What you need:

Ingredients for Chocolate Chips Scones

• 2 cups flour
• ¼ cup sugar
• 3 Tablespoons cocoa
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup butter (room temperature)
• ¾ cup chocolate chips
• ½ cup milk
• 2 eggs

What you do:

1. Preheat oven to 425oF.
2. In a large bowl, mix all of the dry ingredients together.
3. Using a pastry blender or two butter knives, cut in butter until it looks like coarse meal.
4. Add the chocolate chips.
5. Stir in milk and eggs with a fork just until moistened.
6. Lightly flour a small surface.
7. Take dough out of the bowl and turn onto the lightly floured surface. Form dough into a ball and knead about 20 times.
8. Roll dough out with floured rolling pin until it’s about ½ inch thick.
9. Using a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out the heart shaped scones. 
10. Place on ungreased baking sheet.
11. Bake at 425oF for 12-15 minutes.

NOTE: We used an egg wash and sugar on top of our scones but the sugar gave it a glaze that changed the look of the chocolate. If you wish to top them perhaps try an egg wash then chocolate sprinkles.
