Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and cocoa. Mix well.
• Cut in the cold butter pieces with a pastry blender or two knifes until the butter is in tiny chunks the size of pennies.
• In another bowl beat egg lightly with a fork, add sour cream and mix well. Add wet mixture to middle of dry mixture.
• Add chocolate chips and mix until flour mix is just moistened and forms a ball. You may need to add 1-2 Tbsp milk if dough is too dry.
• Knead a few times and turn dough ball out onto prepared pan.
• Press into a flat circle that is 2" thick.
• With a sharp knife, cut in four "pie" sections, then cut each section in half again.
• Bake in 400F oven for 15 minutes. Cool on pan.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• Lightly grease cookie sheet or use parchment paper or a silicon mat.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In large bowl, mix flours, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt with a whisk.
• With pastry blender incorporate the butter into the flour mix using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture looks evenly crumbly.
• Stir in Chocolate chips.
• In a medium bowl whisk together the milk, vanilla and the egg.
• Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir until evenly moist. Mine was very moist but if yours is not add a tablespoon or two more of milk.
• Place some flour mixed with cocoa powder onto a flat surface and turn out the dough. Divide dough in half and pat each half into 6 inch circles. Cut the circles into 6 wedges, like a pie. My dough was so moist this was difficult and at this point I was wondering what I did wrong.
• Place wedges on baking sheets and bake for 17 to 20 minutes. I baked mine for 20 thinking they would take longer to cook as they were so moist but the were perfectly baked at 20.
• To make a glaze, melt 2/3 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips with 1/4 cup half and half in a small bowl in the microwave. Or use some Nutella.
