Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Scones

Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Scones

Back at the age of 18 when I worked at my first espresso stand, we made a delicious drink called a Mochacino. Basically, it was a mocha with cinnamon and nutmeg. Ever since then, I've loved the combination of cinnamon and chocolate. It's so warm and comforting. I decided I'd give the combo a try in the form of a scone. It works in pancakes, so why not??

Scones:

2 cups flour

2 tbls sugar

1 tbls baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup milk

3 eggs

Mix the dry ingredients in a food processor. This will break up the chocolate chips a little, which works well for the scone. Add the butter and process until crumbly. Combine the milk and eggs. Transfer the dry mixture to a bowl, form a well in the center, and add the milk/egg mixture. Fold in the wet mixture just until everything is moistened.

Divide the dough into 2 halves and form each half into a circle (or whatever works for you). Make sure you work on a floured surface. Cut the dough into triangles of any size, like a pie, and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack.

Glaze:

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp cinnamon

2 tbls milk

Combine all the ingredients and drizzle over cooled scones.

These were gone in no time and I will definitely be making them again :-)
