Chocolate Chocolate Chip Scones

Dear Turkey,

Surely by now you are wondering why I haven't posted a recipe for chocolate chocolate chip scones before. I was asking myself that very question the other day.

These scones are inspired by those excellent Moosewood ones. However, the chocolate chips make them a bit more moist and cake-y, and the hot oven temperature makes my house smell like a chocolate factory (and, yeah, I have heard that the smell at Hershey Park is fake, but it still smelled amazing when I was 10).


Chocolate Chocolate Chip Scones 

Ingredients:
- 3 T butter, fridge temp
- 1 c whole wheat flour
- 2.5 c white flour
- 1/2 c cocoa
- 3 T sugar
- 1/2 t salt
- 1.5 c milk (I used soy unsweetened)
- 1 c chocolate chips (I used mini)

Instructions:
- Combine all of the ingredients except the chocolate.
- Using a pastry cutter or a fork, "chop" everything together to form a dough. Pea-sized chunks of butter may remain.
- Fold in the chocolate with your hands.
- Cover a baking stone with parchment paper and smoosh the dough out into a disk about 1 inch thick. There may be pieces of fruit/flour/butter left in the bowl that you can just sprinkle on top.
- Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes. Slice like a pie while still hot. 

Enjoy,
Tofu
