Ingredients
Heart Shaped Scones
- 300 g (2 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
- 27 g (1/3 cup) cocoa powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 113 g (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 120 g (1/2 cup) half and half
- 85 g (1/2 cup) chocolate chips

- 120 g (1 cup) confectioners' sugar
- 20 g (1 tbsp + 1 tsp) milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract

- pink food coloring (optional)
Instructions
Heart Shaped Scones
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper then set aside.
- In a mixing bowl combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Place bowl on a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- Add the cold cubed butter and mix on low until the butter is pea sized.
- With the mixer on low, gradually add the half and half to the mixture then add in the chocolate chips. Stop mixing once the dough is just combined.
- On a lightly floured surface, form the dough into a rectangle then fold onto itself (this helps to create layers). Flatten the dough to 1/2 inch thick then cut into hearts and place on the prepared baking sheet. Place in the freezer then preheat the oven to 400°F.
- If desired brush the tops of the scones with half and half (or milk) then bake for 18 minutes (my scones were 2.5 inches but you may have to adjust the baking time if your scones are smaller/larger).
Vanilla Glaze
- In a small bowl whisk the confectioners’ sugar, milk, vanilla extract and salt, to taste. If desired, dye pink. Drizzle over cooled scones.
