Ingredients

Units Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 cup white granulated sugar

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into chunks

1 egg

3/4–1 cup whole milk

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup white chocolate chips

Mini marshmallows for topping

Sprinkles for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Line two separate baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  3. Add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and cocoa powder to a large mixing bowl and mix to combine.’
  4. Add the cold butter chunks to the mixing bowl and mix with your hands, ensuring the butter is thoroughly worked into the dry ingredients and the entire mixture is moistened. The mixture should stick to itself when pressed between your hands.
  5. Add the egg and ¾ cup of milk to the mixing bowl and thoroughly mix them into the dry ingredients. Add the remaining ¼ cup of milk ONLY if the dough is too dry.
  6. Add ¾ cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the dough and mix to combine.
  7. Separate half of the dough and place it on one of the prepared baking sheets, flour your hands, and pat the dough into a disk shape. Repeat with the remaining half of the dough on the second prepared baking sheet.
  8. Cut both of the dough disks carefully into 6 equal triangles each.
  9. Bake the scones for 12 minutes.
  10. Use the parchment paper to lift the scones off the baking sheets and place them on wire cooling racks.
  11. In two separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the white chocolate chips and the remaining semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave in 15-second intervals until the chocolate chips are fully melted.
  12. Drizzle the melted white and semi-sweet chocolate chips generously over the scones.
  13. Top the scones with mini marshmallows and festive or chocolate sprinkles, if desired.
  14. Serve warm. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
