Step 1: Prep

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3: Cut in Butter

Add cold cubed butter and cut it into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4: Add Wet Ingredients

Stir in eggs, milk, and vanilla just until a thick dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips.

Step 5: Shape

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a circle about 1-inch thick and cut into 8 wedges.

Step 6: Bake

Transfer scones to baking sheet, spacing slightly apart. Bake 15–18 minutes, until set but still soft in the center.

Step 7: Cool

Let cool slightly before serving—these are best warm and fudgy.
