Description
Deliciously rich Chocolate Chip Coffee Scones that blend buttery scone texture with the robust flavor of coffee and sweet chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat)
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup heavy cream (or milk/dairy-free alternative)
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder (or instant coffee)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the espresso powder and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Pour in the heavy cream gradually, mixing just until the dough comes together.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead until smooth.
- Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick and cut into wedges or use a biscuit cutter.
- Brush the tops with cream, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
